WASHINGTON — Manda Packing Co. has expanded a recall to include 468,000 pounds of deli meats due to a risk of Listeria contamination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
The recall comprises roast beef, ham, turkey breast, tasso pork, ham shanks, hog head cheese, corned beef and pastrami processed at a Baker, La., facility with sell by dates of May 13-June 22. The products were sold in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
Some products were sliced at retail and so may not contain packaging information.
No illnesses have been reported.
FSIS was alerted to the risk after a test by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture came back positive for Listeria. Subsequent tests on additional products also showed evidence of contamination.
