Classic Delight LLC, a St. Mary’s, Ohio, firm, is voluntarily recalling a limited number of individually wrapped sandwiches due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes

Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Products subject to the recall were shipped to distributors located in Arkansas, California, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas. Products may end up in foodservice distribution, convenience stores and vending. Items were produced between May 11, 2023, and June 6, 2024.

The recall was initiated after environmental samples tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The company is working in conjunction with the U.S. Food & Drug Administration to conduct this recall. The production of these products has been suspended while the FDA and the company continue to investigate the source of the problem.

Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider. To date, there have been no reports of illness or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Consumers who have purchased affected products should discard them or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Questions should be directed to the Classic Delight Consumer Hotline at 419-300-3202, Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time or via email at info@classicdelight.com.
