Plain-English summary

Great American Marketing, Inc., a Houston, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 3,329 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry wrap and salad products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products were produced between March 27, 2019, and April 8, 2019, and include specific varieties of Caesar Salad, Chef Salad, Club Wrap, and Chicken Caesar Wrap. These items bear establishment number EST. 31680 or P-31680 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations in Texas.

The recall was initiated after the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) notified the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that routine testing of a shared processing area at the establishment confirmed the presence of L. monocytogenes. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Persons in higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and inform their healthcare provider about the consumption of the recalled items.
