Recommendations For People At Risk For Listeriosis
Wash hands with warm, soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry for at least 20 seconds. Wash cutting boards, dishes and utensils with hot, soapy water. Immediately clean spills.
Keep raw meat, fish and poultry away from other food that will not be cooked. Use separate cutting boards for raw meat, poultry and egg products and cooked foods.
Do not eat hot dogs, luncheon meats, bologna or other deli meats unless reheated until steaming hot.
Do not eat refrigerated pâté, meat spreads from a meat counter or smoked seafood found in the refrigerated section of the store. Foods that don't need refrigeration, like canned tuna and canned salmon, are safe to eat. Refrigerate after opening.
Do not drink raw (unpasteurized) milk and do not eat foods that have unpasteurized milk in them.
Do not eat salads made in the store such as ham salad, chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad or seafood salad.
Do not eat soft cheeses such as Feta, queso blanco, queso fresco, Brie, Camembert cheeses, blue-veined cheeses and Panela unless it is labeled as made with pasteurized milk.
Use precooked or ready-to-eat food as soon as you can. Listeria can grow in the refrigerator. The refrigerator should be
40 °F or lower and the freezer 0 °F or lower. Use an appliance thermometer to check the temperature of your refrigerator.

AND PEPPERS.” Each package bears the establishment number
of “EST. 18799” inside the USDA mark of inspection
as well as “BEST IF USED BY” date of “05/02/08”

The fresh meat and poultry salad products were produced between
April 19 and April 24. The frozen products were produced between
October 23, 2007, and April 23, 2008. Recalled products were sent
to food service and retail establishments nationwide.
The problem was discovered through microbiological sampling by
FSIS and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption
of products subject to this recall.
Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can
cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy
people rarely contract listeriosis. However, listeriosis can cause
high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis
can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious
and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems,
such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing
chemotherapy.
Media and consumers with questions about the recall should contact
the company’s recall information hotline at (347) 887-0083.
