Listeria: American Sub Recall

Landshire, Inc. has recalled its American Sub sandwich because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Pregnant women are particularly susceptible to contracting Listeria infections, which can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth or an infant born with severe illness that could result in death.

The recalled American Sub sandwiches were distributed in the Midwestern States of: Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The recalled American Sub sandwiches were sold to Circle K Convenience Stores exclusively. There were 812 sandwiches produced on lot number 21882.

The American Sub sandwich label identifies it as: "Fresh from the Deli" American Sub. This is a pre-packaged, individually wrapped (clear plastic) with a black tray inside of package. Sandwich weight is 9.75ounces (276grams). UPC code is 9748800540. The American Sub sandwiches involved have a lot number of 21882. The lot number is printed in black ink on the side of the package.
