Plain-English summary
Golden Gourmet, LLC, an establishment in Americus, Georgia, is recalling approximately 5,248 pounds of frozen entree products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The specific product is 7.1 oz. trays of "Waffles, Turkey Sausage Patty with Sliced Apple Seasoned w/Brown Sugar and Cinnamon." The items were produced and packaged between December 21, 2016, and December 30, 2016, and bear establishment number P-51269 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The recall was initiated after Golden Gourmet was notified by a supplier on May 19, 2017, that the waffles used in the products were recalled due to potential Listeria contamination. The products were shipped to institutions in Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, South Carolina, and Tennessee. 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. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them 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 provider about the consumption.
