Stop and Shop Recall: Deli Chicken Entrees and Listeria Risk

There have been a rash of related chicken entrée recalls due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This is a multi-state problem involving a number of retail grocers. The following is from a press release issued by The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company, which recalled four types of prepared chicken:

The Stop & Shop Supermarket Company is voluntarily recalling four types of prepared chicken because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The affected products were sold at the deli counter, both in bulk and prepackaged in various weights. The recall covers all of the following items sold on or after Feb. 26, 2008:

-- Breaded Chicken Cutlet (labeled GB BRD CHIX CUTLETS or GB BR CHIX
CUTLTS)
-- Chicken Marsala (labeled GB CHIX MARSALA)
-- Grilled Lemon Chicken (labeled GB GR LEMON CHIX or GB GR LNI CHCKN)
-- Grilled Teriyaki Chicken (labeled GB GR TERIYKI CHIX or GB GR TRYKI
CHICKN)

Upon being notified of the recall by the supplier, Stop & Shop immediately removed all recalled products from sale. To date, Stop & Shop has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products. [ Note from PritzkerOlsen: This is no surprise because the incubation period for Listeria can be as long as 70 days. Pregnant women who ate the above products should contact their medical provider, particularly if they experience flu-like symptoms. About one third of the cases of Listeria infection (listeriosis) in the United States involve pregnancies. Read about Listeria pregnancy and Listeria/listeriosis miscarriage.]
