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 paté, 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, quesco blanco, quesco 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° F or lower and the freezer 0° F or lower. Use an appliance thermometer to check the temperature of your refrigerator.

These products may have been sliced at retail delis, and if so
will not bear this packaging information. The products were
shipped for further distribution, for sale at retail, and to
retail deli stores in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma,
South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
FSIS was alerted to the problem by the Tennessee Department of
Agriculture, who took an intact sample of cooked roast beef at a
retail establishment on April 5, 2013, which later confirmed
positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The recall is now
being expanded because of additional samples from additional
production dates which returned positive for Listeria
monocytogenes. FSIS and the company have received no
reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these
products.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify
that recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and
that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no
longer available to consumers. When available, the retail
distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at:
www.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/Open_Federal_Cases.
Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes
can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal
disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. However,
listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck
stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages
and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal
infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as
infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or
undergoing chemotherapy. Individuals concerned about an illness
should contact a health care provider.
Media and consumers with questions about the recall should
contact Josh Yarborough, Director of Quality Assurance and Food
Safety, at (225) 344-7636, ext. 59.
