Chicago, IL – Jewel Osco stores in Illinois, Indiana and Iowa are voluntarily recalling select tuna salad products following a possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes tied to breadcrumbs supplied by Reser’s Fine Foods.
According to a company announcement published Monday by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the recall was initiated after Reser’s Fine Foods found Listeria in an ingredient used in the tuna salad. The voluntary recall affects a variety of ready-to-eat items, including sandwiches and salads, distributed between July 16 and July 25.
Products under recall include Club Sandwiches with Salad, RM Duo Tuna Salad with Crackers, RM Quad Tuna Salad, and various croissant sandwich options. These items were sold under the Jewel Osco brand at locations across Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. Consumers are advised to dispose of or return the affected products to the store for a full refund.
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can lead to serious or potentially fatal infections, especially in young children, elderly individuals and those with weakened immune systems. Infections in pregnant women can also result in miscarriages or stillbirths. Symptoms may include fever, headaches, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
The FDA advises consumers to sanitize any surfaces that may have come into contact with the products. Listeria can survive in refrigerated temperatures and may spread to other foods and surfaces.
No illnesses or injuries have been reported as of Monday. The FDA urges anyone with concerns about potential exposure or symptoms to consult a healthcare provider.
Consumers with questions can contact Albertsons Companies’ Customer Service Center at 1-877-723-3929, available Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. PST.
