What happened

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert on February 24, 2017, regarding meat and poultry wraps produced by JLM Manufacturing in Shelby Township, Michigan, due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The affected PREMO Brand products are 5-ounce packages of Ham & Cheddar Wrap, Italian Wrap, and Tuscan Chicken Wrap, produced on January 23 or 25, 2017, with Best by dates of February 12 or 14, 2017. These products bear establishment number EST. 45360 or P-45360 and were shipped to retail locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin, and West Virginia. The contamination concern arose after the cheese supplier notified the firm that cheese used in the wraps was included in an expanded recall due to potential Listeria contamination.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection with particular risk to older adults, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and newborns, though it can affect others as well. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions, sometimes preceded by gastrointestinal symptoms, and the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, and life-threatening infections in newborns. No confirmed cases of illness from these products have been reported. According to the record, consumers who have purchased these products should not consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.

Details from the source

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2017 The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert due to concerns that meat and poultry wraps produced by JLM Manufacturing, a Shelby Township, Mich. establishment, may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes . A recall was not requested because it is believed that all products have been consumed and are past their Best by dates. The PREMO Brand wraps were produced on Jan. 23, 2017 and Jan. 25, 2017 and have Best by dates of Feb. 12, 2017 and Feb. 14, 2017. The following products subject to the public health alert are: [ View Labels (PDF only)] 5-oz plastic packages containing one Ham & Cheddar Wrap. 5-oz plastic packages containing one Italian Wrap. 5-oz plastic packages containing one Tuscan Chicken Wrap. The products bear establishment number EST. 45360 or P-45360 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin and West Virginia. The problem was discovered when the firm received notification from the cheese supplier that the cheese ingredient utilized in the meat and poultry wraps was included in an expanded cheese recall due to potential contamination with L. monocytogenes . There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected. Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections can occur in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov . The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day. The online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System can be accessed 24 hours a day at: https://www.fsis.usda.gov/reportproblem . 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 pate, 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 o F or lower and the freezer 0 o F or lower. Use an appliance thermometer to check the temperature of your refrigerator.
