By Ashley Turner

Classic Delight LLC has initiated a large voluntary recall, impacting a wide array of sandwiches and prepackaged meals distributed across seven states. The catalyst for this precautionary measure was the detection of Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially harmful bacteria, during sample testing conducted by the company. One Nutrisystem product is included in the recall.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an announcement on June 11 detailing the scope of the recall and the states affected. Consumers in Arkansas, California, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas who purchased the implicated products are urged to exercise caution.

Listeria monocytogenes is a notorious culprit behind numerous cases of food poisoning in the United States. While its effects on healthy adults may manifest as mere discomfort and manageable symptoms, the consequences can be severe for vulnerable populations, including young children, the elderly, pregnant women and individuals with compromised immune systems. 

Symptoms can range from high fevers and severe headaches to stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, according to the FDA. Listeria infections can have severe and potentially life-threatening consequences, particularly for those with weakened immune systems. The incubation period for Listeria can extend up to 70 days, highlighting the importance of prompt medical attention during symptom manifestation.

The Nutrisystem Turkey Sausage and Egg Muffin, bearing product code 73131, is among the extensive list of recalled items. Sandwiches and prepackaged meal options from well-known brands are also included in the recall, illustrating its wide scope.
