USDA-FSIS Recall Announcement: Connecticut Firm Recalls Aliki Chicken Alfredo Due to Possible Listeria Contamination
October 9, 2007 - Aliki Foods, Inc., an Old Lyme, Connecticut, firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 70,400 pounds of a chicken and pasta product that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The following product is subject to recall:

5-pound boxes containing two 2.5-pound trays of "Aliki Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo Made with White Chicken." Each box bears the establishment number "Est. 219" inside the Canadian Food Inspection Agency mark of inspection as well as a best if used by date of "SEPT 08" printed on the top of the box.

The Aliki Chicken Alfredo was produced on Sept. 28, 2007 and was distributed to retail establishments in Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Virginia.

The problem was discovered through routine FSIS microbiological sampling at the import establishment. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product.

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially-fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. However, listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths (see Listeria pregnancy), as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections (Listeria meningitis) in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.
