Northern Tier Bakery LLC of Saint Paul Park, Minnesota is recalling Chicken Salad Sandwiches that were sold under the brand names Supermom’s and Hometown Kitchen for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. This recall was initiated after the company’s chicken suppler, Tip Top Poultry, told the company about the potential Listeria contamination. Tip Top recalled several brands of their ready-to-eat frozen diced cooked chicken products on September 30, 2019.
There have been no reports of illnesses from consumption of these products to date. These Chicken Salad Sandwiches were available at Speedway and other convenience stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin. The recalled sandwiches have “Enjoy Through” dates of 9/30, 10/1, 10/2, 10/3, 10/4, and 10/7. The sandwiches are packaged in black wedge containers. You can see pictures of product packages at the FDA web site.
The UPC number for the sandwiches sold under the SuperMom’s brand name is 763913801286. The UPC number for the sandwiches sold under the Hometown Kitchen brand name is 763913260151.
There is zero tolerance for Listeria monocytogenes contamination in ready-to-eat products in this country. If you purchased those products, do not eat them. Throw them away in a sealed container, or take them back to the place of purchase for a full refund.
You should then clean out your refrigerator or freezer with a mild bleach solution to kill bacteria. Use a combination of 1 tablespoon liquid chlorine bleach to 1 gallon of water. Wash your hands well with soap and water after cleaning and after touching these products. If you ate these sandwiches, watch yourself for the symptoms of listeriosis for the next 70 days.
