According to the recall notice, impacted products are marked with best-by dates ranging from Aug. 4, 2020, to Aug. 17, 2020. While there have been no instances of illness related to the recall, the company is advising customers to dispose of recalled products or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.

The issue was found after a third party tested a frozen sandwich from one manufacturing facility and found the presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The company immediately halted shipments from the facility and began sanitation and cleaning procedures, as well as comprehensive testing to ensure there was no listeria at the facility.

Listeria can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, elderly adults or those with weakened immune systems. Others may experience short-term issues such as fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. It can also be dangerous for pregnant women and cause miscarriages or stillbirth.

Consumers are urged to discard the product or return it for a refund.
