What this means for you
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a high-risk pathogen (Listeria monocytogenes) in ready-to-eat products, but the source explicitly states there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for high-risk pathogens without reported illness.
Plain-English summary
Tip Top Poultry, Inc. is recalling an undetermined amount of frozen, cooked, diced, or shredded ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken products. The products were produced between January 21, 2019, and September 24, 2019, and bear establishment number Est. P-17453 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The recall was initiated after multiple samples tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes in Canada. The products were shipped to institutions nationwide in the United States and Canada, and some may have been served from deli counters in grocery stores.
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. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions.
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. Institutions that have purchased these products are urged not to serve them. 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 potential exposure.
