Over 8 Million Pounds of Chicken Recalled Due to Possible Listeria Contamination

Tyson Foods Inc. is recalling over 8 million pounds of ready-to-eat chicken products because of possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, which can lead to listeriosis. The recall was initiated after three cases of listeriosis and one death were reported and found to have a connection to Tyson’s products.

According to the USDA, listeriosis “can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.” Listeriosis can be especially serious for the elderly, those with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and newborn babies.

The frozen, fully cooked chicken products were distributed nationwide and may be in both consumer and institutional freezers. The products were produced between December 26, 2020 and April 13, 2021 and have the establishment number “EST. P-7089” on the product bag or inside the USDA mark of inspection.
