Ham Salad

On April 5, 2006, the U. S. Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) in cooperation with Town and Country Meats of Greene, Maine, announced a voluntary recall of 92 pounds of ham salad that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The ham salad was produced by Town and Country Meats on March 31 and April 3, 2006, and was distributed for sale in Maine. The recalled ham salad was packaged in 2-pound plastic tubs. The words "TOWN & COUNTRY FOODS, HAM SALAD" are on each tub. Each tub of ham salad also bears the establishment number "Est. 9710" inside the USDA mark of inspection, as well as the product code, "00906" or "00936."

Listeria is a foodborne pathogen that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, primarily in young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems. Food poisoning caused by Listeria is called listeriosis. Symptoms include high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeriosis can cause a miscarriage.

The information above was obtained from an FSIS recall news release. Read the full news release regarding the FSIS recall of Town and Country Foods Ham Salad.
