Salads, ready-to-eat sushi and more items are being recalled because they might contain Listeria monocytogenes.
The chain shared a statement on Tuesday, which read that, “In relation to the Fuji Foods Recall, we have been alerted by our supplier that the following refrigerated products – sold only in our AL, CT, DC, DE, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, NC, NE, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, SC, TN, VA, VT & WI stores – may have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.”
It was reported by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that Fuji Food Products Inc. announced its voluntary recall last Wednesday. Outlets said that the issues were initially discovered in Brockton, Massachusetts, during a routine inspection performed by the FDA.
Fuji Food Products CEO Farrell Hirsch said in a statement that, “As responsible processors of safe, fresh food for nearly 30 years, we are addressing this problem vigorously and we apologize to those who are affected by it.”
Hirsch added, “We will restart operation only after we have eliminated the cause, and the FDA certifies that our facility is once again free of possible contamination.”
