FDA Recalls Fresh To You Breakfast Sandwiches Over Listeria Contamination Risk in Washington and Oregon
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for over 2,400 'Fresh To You Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Biscuit Sandwiches' due to potential contamination with Listeria Monocytogenes. The affected sandwiches were manufactured in Renton and distributed across Washington and Oregon. These products were available in employee break rooms, refrigerated vending machines, and cafeterias between October 25 and November 4. Consumers who purchased these sandwiches are advised to discard them immediately. No illnesses have been reported in connection with this recall to date. Listeria Monocytogenes can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections, particularly in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, individuals with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women, where it can lead to miscarriages and stillbirths. Symptoms can include fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Fresh & Ready Foods is offering full refunds to affected consumers.
