A significant nationwide meat recall has been issued due to a Listeria outbreak linked to products from Yu Shang Food, based in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
The recall affects over 72,000 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products, including various types of pork, beef, chicken, and duck.
This recall follows an outbreak that has led to 11 reported illnesses and one infant death across multiple states, including California, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York.
The recalled products, produced before October 28, 2024, include items such as cooked pork belly, chicken feet, spicy duck necks, seasoned chicken legs, and more.
These items may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, which was discovered during routine testing in October.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has linked the outbreak to these products.
Symptoms of Listeria infection can include fever, muscle aches, and tiredness, with particular risks to pregnant women, the elderly, and individuals with weakened immune systems.
