Over 89,000 Pounds of Ham Products Recalled Due to Deadly Listeria Outbreak
ANOTHER recall?! 😳
According to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, Johnston County Hams has recalled over 89,000 pounds of ready-to-eat ham products as they may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The ready-to-eat deli-loaf ham items were produced from April 3rd, 2017, to October 2nd, 2018, and were shipped to distributors in Maryland, North Carolina, New York, South Carolina, and Virginia.
There have been a total of four listeriosis confirmed illnesses, including one death, between July 8th, 2017, and August 11th, 2018. The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. M2646” inside the USDA mark of inspection, including the following items:
- Varying weights of 7 to 8-lbs. plastic-wrapped “Johnston County Hams, Inc. Country Style Fully Cooked Boneless Deli Ham.”
- Varying weights of 7 to 8-lbs. plastic-wrapped “Ole Fashioned Sugar Cured The Old Dominion Brand Hams Premium Fully Cooked Country Ham” with Sell-By dates from 4/10/2018 to 9/27/2019.
- Varying weights of 7 to 8-lbs. plastic-wrapped “Padow’s Hams & Deli, Inc. Fully Cooked Country Ham Boneless Glazed with Brown Sugar.”
- Varying weights of 7 to 8-lbs. plastic-wrapped “Premium Fully Cooked Country Ham Less Salt Distributed By: Valley Country Hams LLC” with Sell-By dates from 4/10/2018 to 9/27/2019.
- Varying weights of 7 to 8-lbs. plastic-wrapped “Goodnight Brothers Country Ham Boneless Fully Cooked.”
The FSIS is concerned that some people may still have the contaminated ham in their freezers and urges consumers who’ve purchased these products not to eat them. Instead, if you have any ham products that are part of the recall, you should throw them out or return them for a refund.
I got an email from sams today saying they noticed i bought meat that had been recalled. Seemed like there were more products listed than before. It said if its cooked properly it shouldnt be a problem but to come to the store for a refund. The meat is still in my freezer but i dotn have the receipt. Teying to decide if its worth the trip. The packs are $18
How do I return these recall products without receipt
Hi there! You could always call in to your store before heading in, to check with customer service. They may already know about the recall and allow you to return your ham. Hope that helps!
