The U.S. Department of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for ready-to-eat chicken and bacon wrap products due to concerns that the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
A recall was not requested because the affected products are no longer available for purchase.
The ready-to-eatchicken and bacon ranch wrap products were produced on May 2, 2025. The following products subject to the public health alert are:
-
10-oz. clear plastic clamshell packages containing Big Y quick easy meals CHICKEN BACON RANCH WRAP with Sell By 05/07/2025 and lot code 25122.
-
10-oz. clear plastic clamshell packages containing MARKET 32 BY PRICE CHOPPER Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap with Sell Through 05/07/2025 and lot code 25122.
The products bear the establishment number P34657 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributors in Massachusetts and New York and further distributed to retail locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York.
The problem was discovered when a state public health partner notified FSIS of a product sample that tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.
