Alexander & Hornung is recalling more than 234,000 pounds of fully cooked ham and pepperoni products because of a possible listeria contamination.
On Sunday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced that the company, a subsidiary of Perdue Premium Meat Company, Inc., issued a recall of the products after listeria monocytogenes was found in product samples., which were produced on various dates and shipped to retail locations nationwide, include smoked ham, pepperoni, bone-in ham steak and other pork products.
Foods contaminated with listeria can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant individuals and their newborns, according to the FSIS. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In older adults and those with weakened immune systems, serious and sometimes fatal infections can result.
Anyone in a higher-risk category who experiences flu-like symptoms within two months of eating the contaminated products should seek medical care.
