Plain-English summary

Pelleh Poultry Corp., a Swan Lake, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 708 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) beef and poultry products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The products were packaged on various dates from October 25, 2023, through November 20, 2023, and bear establishment number “EST. P44121” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated after the establishment notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that its laboratory testing indicated the product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The items were shipped to retail and institutional locations in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. 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 are urged not to eat these products and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Institutions are urged not to serve these products.
