A number of secondary recalls for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination have been made for consumer products made with Tip Top frozen diced cooked ready-to-eat chicken. That company recalled its products that were made between January 21, 2019 and September 24, 2019. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with any of these recalls.
We are collecting the recalls all in one place so you can stay informed and up to date. There is zero tolerance for Listeria monocytogenes bacteria in any ready-to-eat product in the United States. This pathogen can cause serious illness in the elderly, the very young, people with compromised immune systems, and pregnant women.
If you ate any of these recalled products, monitor your health for the symptoms of listeriosis for the next 70 days. That’s how long it can take for symptoms to appear. Signs of listeriosis include a stiff neck, high fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. Pregnant women are a special category for this illness: while they may only have a mild illness that mimics the flu, listeriosis can cause miscarriage, premature labor, stillbirth, and infection in the newborn.
