The FDA has updated the vague recall Kroger posted about King Soopers Deli Chicken Sandwich Listeria recall. The recall was posted on the Kroger website earlier this week.
The sandwiches were sold in King Soopers and City Market stores in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming. No confirmed reports of illness have been reported to date, but listeriosis can take 70 days to manifest.
The recalled item is a prepackaged 6.8 ounce Deli Chicken Salad Sandwich sold in the deli department. The UPC number is 663209-02050 and the sell by dates are 9/20/17 through 9/28/17. King Soopers has removed the item from store shelves and has initiated its customer recall notification system. King Soopers was notified on September 21, 2017 by the manufacturer, Journey Cuisine, that the product may be contaminated.
If you bought this product do not eat it. Throw it away in a sealed container or take it back to the store for a full refund. Wash your hands after handling this product. And clean out your fridge with a mild bleach solution to kill any bacteria.
If you ate this sandwich, watch yourself for the symptoms of listeriosis for the next 70 days. Symptoms include high fever, stiff neck, severe headache, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Pregnant women may only be mildly ill with what seems like the flu, but listeriosis can cause miscarriage, stillbirth, premature labor, and infection in the newborn. If you do feel sick, see your doctor.
