Hahn Bros., Inc. is voluntarily recalling approximately 450 pounds of beef bologna and beef salami that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes , the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today. The products were packaged April 25 and distributed to the retail level in New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Kansas, Tennessee, Indiana, North Carolina, and possibly other states nationwide. The problem was discovered through routine FSIS microbiological sampling. Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis.
Listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness, and nausea.
FSIS has received no reports of illness associated with consumption of this product. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician.
