This recall is part of a series of food safety concerns reported recently.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service expanded a recall on meat and poultry products due to possible listeria contamination. The recall now includes an additional 67,000 pounds of products.
Listeria is a serious foodborne illness. According to the CDC, it infects around 1,600 people each year and causes 260 deaths. The recall has been classified as a Class I risk, meaning there’s a high chance of serious health issues.
In another recall, F&S Fresh Foods pulled two organic carrot products from shelves due to potential E. coli contamination. This recall began after Grimmway Farms, a supplier, alerted F&S Fresh Foods about the issue. The bacteria can cause severe stomach issues and complications.
