Plain-English summary

Kabob's Acquisition, Inc., a Lake City, Georgia establishment, is recalling approximately 5,946 pounds of turkey and ham sandwich products. The specific product is the Kabobs MONTE CRISTO TURKEY BREAST, HAM AND CHEESE SANDWICH, produced in 13.125-lb. bulk cases containing 200 sandwiches. These products were produced between May 1, 2014, and February 1, 2017, and bear establishment number P-6640 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated after the company's French toast ingredient supplier notified Kabob's Acquisition that the French toast used in the sandwiches was recalled due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The affected items were shipped to institutional locations in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

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. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. Persons in higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and inform their provider about the consumption.
