Fresh Ideation Food Group LLC Recall on Ready-To-Eat Meals

The possibly affected products, which were distributed by Fresh Ideation Food LLC across stores and vending machines, include bacon, egg, and cheddar muffins, breakfast croissants, fruit cups, and more. Although they span across dozens of brands, they are all marked with a Fresh Creative Cuisine label. The recall was issued due to the fact that the environmental samples tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, according to the announcement from the Fresh Ideation Food Group.

If you live or have recently traveled in Connecticut, Washington DC, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, or Virginia and purchased one of these items with a sell-by date of January 31, 2023 through February 6, 2023, the FDA urges you to contact Fresh Ideation Food Group LLC, at 855-969-3338, Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm EST.

Risk of Listeria

So, what exactly is at risk, here? According to the US Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, listeriosis, or the infection caused by Listeria, can lead to symptoms such as fever, headache, diarrhea, and vomiting. Pregnant women, newborns, people over 65 years old, and those with weakened immune systems are especially at risk.

Luckily, there have been no reported illnesses from this outbreak so far.
