Plain-English summary
Fresh Foods Manufacturing Co., a Freedom, Pa. establishment, is recalling approximately 701 pounds of heat-treated, not fully cooked, not shelf stable chicken products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The products were packaged from Oct. 10-16, 2017, and bear establishment number EST. P-40211. The recall includes four specific items: 7-oz. Chicken & Vegetable Potstickers, 12-oz. Sesame Chicken Ramen Noodles, 12-oz. Chicken & Vegetable Fried Rice, and 12-oz. Spicy Thai-Style Chicken with Udon Noodles, all with best-by dates ranging from 10/17/2017 to 10/23/2017.
The recall was initiated after the company received notification from a supplier on Oct. 19, 2017, that the broccoli used in the products was recalled due to Listeria concerns. These items were shipped to retail locations in Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. 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.
