Washington Firm Recalls Frozen Chicken Entrées For Possible Listeria Contamination
March 3, 2008 - Costco Wholesale, a Washington firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 10,368 pounds of frozen chicken Entrées that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The following frozen chicken product the subject of the Costco recall:
Four-pack of 12-ounce packages of "Discover Cuisine ™ Red Curry Chicken & Jasmine Rice." Each package bears the Canadian establishment number "Est. 302" inside the Canadian Food Inspection Agency mark of inspection as well as a "Best By" date of "12 18 08." The item number "2880" also appears by the UPC code on the package.
The frozen chicken entrées were produced on Oct. 18, 2007, and were sent to retail establishments in Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah and Washington.
The possible Listeria contamination was discovered through FSIS microbiological sampling. 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, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.
Most of the Listeria cases we handle involve the wrongful death or serious injury of an elderly person or a miscarriage. Read about Listeria wrongful death and Listeria miscarriage.
