Joseph Seviroli, LLC of Garden City, NY, is recalling 1,366,065 pounds of Chicken Alfredo Kits because it contains chicken contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. According to the details published online by the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA), the recall was initiated on Oct. 9, 2024, and is ongoing.
The recalled products were distributed in New York, Georgia, Indiana, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Wyoming, Minnesota, California and Florida. About Listeria infections Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has eaten any recalled products and developed symptoms of Listeria infection should seek medical treatment and tell their doctors about the possible Listeria exposure.
Specific tests are required to diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other illnesses. Anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products should monitor themselves for symptoms during the coming weeks because it can take up to 70 days after exposure to Listeria for symptoms of listeriosis to develop. Symptoms of Listeria infection can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness.
Specific laboratory tests are required to diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other illnesses. Pregnant women, the elderly, young children, and people such as cancer patients who have weakened immune systems are particularly at risk of serious illnesses, life-threatening infections, other complications and death. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, their infections can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.
