A company from Chicago, City Foods, Incorporated, is recalling approximately 3,215 pounds of ready-to-eat pastrami and corned beef products over concerns they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall Monday. The affected products were produced July 16th and have a 60-day shelf life. They include Midamar Premium Beef Pastrami, Bea’s Best Cooked Corned Beef Brisket, and Kirsch Delicatessen Style Cooked Corned Beef Brisket.

The products bear the establishment number “EST. 1896” inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to food service locations in Illinois, Iowa and Michigan, and may have been distributed nationwide. The issue was discovered during routine inspection activities. There have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the products.

Consumers and institutions that purchased the recalled products are urged not to eat them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Listeria can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion and loss of balance.

Those in higher-risk groups who develop flu-like symptoms after eating potentially contaminated food should seek medical attention and tell their healthcare provider about the possible exposure. Additional recall information and distribution lists are available through the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service online at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
