The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST. 18894” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These products were shipped to a various retail locations in New York.                                 

The problem was discovered during routine sampling. In early April 2015 this establishment underwent construction, and in May 2015, FSIS performed routine Listeria monocytogenes sampling. Environmental, product-contact surface and Ready-to-Eat (RTE) products that were analyzed for sampling were found to be Listeria monocytogenes positive. Additional FSIS and establishment sampling confirmed Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

FSIS and the company are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers' freezers.
