Plain-English summary
Adolf's Meat Products, a Hartford, Connecticut establishment, is recalling approximately 224 pounds of assorted meat products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes smoked kielbasa, hams, Canadian bacon, bone-in pork loins, and liverwurst produced on October 20, 2015. These products were sold at the company's store, Adolf's Meat & Sausage Kitchen, in Hartford, Connecticut.
The recall was initiated after routine sample testing by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) detected the potential for Listeria contamination. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or illnesses associated with the consumption of these products. Listeriosis is a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The recalled items should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. FSIS advises consumers to reheat ready-to-eat products until steaming hot to reduce the risk of Listeria infection.
