Why it was recalled

The products have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes based on FDA sampling and analysis. During an FDA inspection, an environmental sample (973983) was collected and submitted to NRL for analysis. NRL's analysis revealed 37 out of 99 subs were positive for L. monocytogenes including both Zone 1 and Zone 2 locations.

Class I is the FDA’s most serious recall level: there is a reasonable probability that using this product will cause serious harm or death.
