  • These recalled products are being linked to a Listeria outbreak.

An active recall was just announced on over 90 different ready-to-eat sandwich and snack products, according to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. This is due to the products’ connection to a multistate Listeria monocytogenes outbreak.

The Fresh & Ready Foods, City Point Market Fresh Food to Go and Fresh Take Crave Away products recalled were sold at retailers and food service locations (including hospitals, hotels, convenience stores, airports and airlines) in Arizona, California, Nevada and Washington. View the full list of impacted products on the FDA’s recall page. This investigation is ongoing, so more locations and products may be added to this recall.
