Chicken salad made in New York state is being recalled over concerns it may be contaminated with listeria, a potentially-deadly bacteria.
In all, approximately 3,004 pounds of Sally Sherman Foods chicken salad has been recalled, according to the USDA.
Sally Sherman is based in Mount Vernon, New York. The chicken salad was sent to distributor locations in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Maryland.
The recall was issued after an in-plant sampling of products found L. monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause listeriosis, a serious infection.
This is a USDA Class 1 recall, which means there is “reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.”
So far, there have been no reports of illness related to the recalled products, the USDA said.
The recalled chicken salad was produced on various dates between Feb. 2 and Feb. 18 of this year. The products all have the number “P-4400” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
