Pelleh Poultry Corp recalls beef and poultry products: Reason, states, and more

Over 700 pounds of beef and poultry products are being recalled from across the country over a potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination concern. Recalled by Pelleh Poultry Corp. of Swan Lake, New York, the affected meat products may pose risks of severe infections and sickness if consumed.

Announced last week, the voluntary recall affects more than 75 ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products produced and/or packaged between October 25, 2023, and November 20, 2023. The problem with the affected products came to light after the United States Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) notified the establishment that the products were found to be contaminated with Listeria during laboratory tests.

As of now, the affected meat products are not reported to have caused any infections or other adverse effects. Readers must note that food compromised with Listeria contaminants may lead to serious cases of infections that can target people with weakened immune systems, like small children, the elderly, and others with medical conditions.

Such infections can also prove severe for pregnant or expecting women and often lead to stillbirths or miscarriage. A regular Listeriosis infection can often be diagnosed with symptoms like confusion, convulsions, loss of balance, diarrhea, muscle aches, neck stiffness, headaches, and fever. Individuals experiencing such symptoms should consult a medical professional as soon as possible.
