Health Warning for Ready-to-Eat Chicken and Bacon Wraps Due to Listeria Risk

May 15, 2025 - 03:09

A public health alert has been announced regarding certain ready-to-eat chicken and bacon wrap products distributed in Connecticut and surrounding areas. This alert comes in response to potential Listeria contamination, as reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

While the agency has identified the risk, they stated that a recall was not necessary since the affected products are no longer available for sale. Listeria is a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, pregnant women, newborns, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues, and in severe cases, it can lead to more serious health complications.

Consumers who may have purchased these wraps are advised to remain vigilant for any symptoms of Listeria infection. The FSIS continues to monitor the situation and urges anyone who has concerns to consult with healthcare professionals.
