Chicken Salad Recalled for Listeria Contamination
Blue Ridge Farms is recalling 400 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken salad that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service says. There have been no reports of illness.
The 5-pound tubs of "Blue Ridge Farms Made Fresh Daily Cajun Chicken Salad," include bar codes of "38419096130" and are marked "USE BY 05/28/03." Each tub also bears the establishment code "P-21279" inside the USDA seal of inspection.
The chicken salad was produced April 29 and distributed to retail stores in Alabama, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and Texas. The product should be returned to the place of purchase for a full refund.
Consumers with questions can contact David Monk, Blue Ridge Farms' vice president of sales, at 1-708-748-4405.
