Multi-state recall issued due to Listeria contamination

[Mike Wehner]

• Foods sold under a variety of brand names were just recalled due to the potential for Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
• The food products are just the latest in what seems to be an uptick in the number of recalls related to various strains of Listeria so far this year
• Among the food products in the recall are prepared taco platters, various dips, and wraps with chicken, turkey, bacon, and avocado.

It's been a very interesting year for food recalls, with the FDA issuing a rather large number over the course of just a few months. One of the biggest trends we're seeing early in 2021 is small-scale outbreaks of Listeria monocytogenes in various parts of the country. Some of those outbreaks and recalls have been liked to one another and the FDA and USDA are investigating the source to ensure that it doesn't happen again. Other Listeria-related recalls seem to be totally separate, and there are two new recalls that just popped up.

As the FDA notes in two independent recall bulletins, Listeria bacteria is suspected to have contaminated a variety of food products across several states including Minnesota and Wisconsin. The products were sold at grocery and convenience stores and include prepared dips and ready-to-eat wraps and salads.
