recall zemcoIf you thought that half a billion eggs being recalled this last week was not enough to open some eyes at the FDA, than this new meat recall may do just that. You are not alone if you feel that over the last several months the avalanche of food related recalls is abnormal, because it indeed is.

This morning Zemco Industries, located in Buffalo New York announced the recall of over 380,000 pounds of deli meat. The meat may have been tainted with the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria, which can cause the disease, listeriosis. Listeriosis, is potentially fatal, however extremely rare. The USDA gave the following warning about the disease, “Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy,”

The recalled meat is primarily sold at Walmart stores nationwide, and has been pulled from the shelves immediately. Here is a complete list of the products which have been recalled by Zemco Industries:

- 25.5-pound cases of “Marketside Grab and Go Sandwiches BLACK FOREST HAM With Natural Juices Coated with Caramel Color” with the number 17800 1300.

- 28.49-pound cases of “Marketside Grab and Go Sandwiches HOT HAM, HARD SALAMI, PEPPERONI, SANDWICH PEPPERS” with the number 17803 1300.

- 32.67-pound cases of “Marketside Grab and Go Sandwiches VIRGINIA BRAND HAM With Natural Juices, MADE IN NEW YORK, FULLY COOKED BACON, SANDWICH PICKLES, SANDWICH PEPPERS” with the number 17804 1300.

- 25.5-pound cases of “Marketside Grab and Go Sandwiches ANGUS ROAST BEEF Coated with Caramel Color” with the number 17805 1300.

If you have purchased any of the above, return them to the store immediately for a refund.
