Food Safety News Listeria cdc

Fresh Foods Manufacturing Co. of Freedom, PA,  is recalling 701 pounds of heat-treated, not fully cooked, not shelf stable chicken products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The problem was discovered Thursday when Fresh Foods Manufacturing Co. received notification from a supplier that the broccoli used by the company was recalled due to Listeria concerns. Fresh Foods did not indicate who that supplier is, but the recall coincides with a huge recall of freshcut produce by Mann Packing Co. Inc. of Salinas, CA, following a finding of Listeria monocytogenes in one of its products.
