Deli meats produced by Manda Packing Company of Baker, La. are being recalled for potential Listeria contamination by a number of retailers, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA’s FSIS). Listeria can cause serious, sometimes fatal illness but, at this time, no illnesses have been associated with the recalled meat.
The problem was initially discovered by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture when routine testing on a sample of cooked roast beef taken from a retail establishment on April 5, 2013 was positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The Manda products under recall include: roast beef, ham, turkey breast, tasso pork, ham shanks, hog head cheese, corned beef, and pastrami and were sold under a variety of brand names at grocery store deli counters. In Arkansas the recalled products were sold at Ben E. Keith stores; in Louisiana and Texas they were sold at Brookshire Brothers and Kroger Stores; in Louisiana they were sold at Dollar General and Piggly Wiggly Stores; in Illinois and Missouri they were sold at Schnuck’s Markets; and they were sold nationwide at Walmart stores.
