497 pounds of product are affected, to be precise, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Included in the recall are 2-oz, 8-oz, and 16-oz packages of “BEEF JERKY EXPERIENCE CHOP HOUSE STYLE PRIME RIB FLAVORED BEEF JERKY” with an expiration date of Aug. 25, 2023. Affected packages were shipped to retailers across the country and also bear “EST. 8091” inside the USDA mark of inspection. There are no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of these products. The possible contamination was discovered during third-party testing which discovered a positive sample of Listeria monocytogenes on a surface the products had contacted. Infection by listeria is most dangerous in those with weakened immune systems, including newborns, pregnant individuals, and the elderly, and can lead to death or miscarriage. The bacteria can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions, as well as gastrointestinal symptoms. If you are in possession of one of the affected lots, you should throw the product away immediately or return it to the point of purchase. More News:
