Listeria Found: NY Salads Recalled!
9 Sep
Summary
- Ready-to-eat deli salads and cream cheese products recalled by Made Fresh Salads Inc.
- Listeria monocytogenes found in facility by FDA testing.
- Recalled items distributed across New York City; expiration dates in September 2026.
Made Fresh Salads Inc., operating out of Bay Shore, New York, has announced a comprehensive recall of its ready-to-eat deli-style salads and cream cheese products. This recall was prompted by environmental testing conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which identified the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a portion of the company's production facility.
Listeria infections pose significant health risks, particularly to vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and individuals with compromised immune systems. While no illnesses have been reported to date in relation to these products, the contamination necessitates immediate action.
The affected products, sold under the Made Fresh Salads and Northside brands, include a wide array of deli salads, seafood salads, pasta salads, and flavored cream cheeses. These items were distributed to retailers and distributors specifically within New York City. Consumers should check for products with expiration dates ranging from September 3 to September 18, 2026.
Production and distribution of these items have been temporarily suspended. Both Made Fresh Salads Inc. and the FDA are actively investigating the origin of the contamination. Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products are advised to return them to the point of sale for a full refund.
