Plain-English summary
Fisher Packing Company, a Redkey, Indiana establishment, is recalling approximately 744 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) pork products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products were packaged on August 27, 2019, and include vacuum-sealed packages of Fisher Meats Old Fashion Smoked Ham, Fisher Meats Smoked Ham Shanks with Natural Juices, and Fisher Meats Canadian Bacon. All items bear the lot code 19239 and establishment number 74SEIN inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The recall was initiated after the firm notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that a sample of the product tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. These products were shipped to retail locations in Indiana. 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. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
