BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 1, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Reser's Fine Foods, Inc. is issuing a recall of a limited number of Chicken Salad items due to the ingredient recall by Tip Top Poultry, Inc. for possible Listeria monocytogenes.  Due to the Class I recall by Tip Top Poultry, Inc., we are issuing a Class I recall for four salad items manufactured with chicken from this supplier:

Listeria is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.  Healthy individuals may suffer short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and still births among pregnant women. 

The product was distributed to retail locations across the United States.

The problem was discovered when Tip Top Poultry, Inc. notified the USDA that multiple samples of chicken produced by Tip Top Poultry, Inc. confirmed positive for the presence of Listeria monocytogenes after being tested in Canada.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
