During a routine inspection, the Food Safety and Inspection Service found Listeria monocytogenes on surfaces these products came in contact with during the production process. Each of the products that are a part of the recall have an "EST. 54" establishment number inside the USDA mark of inspection. While the health agency has not announced any confirmed reports of illness caused by eating these charcuterie items, you should still throw away any impacted items as a safety precaution, they say.

Consuming products possibly contaminated with listeria could result in listeriosis, an infection that can cause serious illness in older adults, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and newborns. Those with specific questions about potential illness from eating the charcuterie items should contact their healthcare provider. People with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or live chat via Ask USDA from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST Monday through Friday.
