UKROP'S HOMESTYLE FOODS ANNOUNCES RECALLS BECAUSE OF HEALTH RISK

Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods, LLC Announces Recalls Because of Possible Health Risk

Ukrop’s Homestyle Foods LLC, Richmond, VA today announced that it is recalling an assortment of its products in reaction to the Johnston County Hams, Smithfield, NC recall of 89,000 pounds of Ham.

Johnston County Hams’ country ham was recalled due to its potential for contamination with Listeria monocytogenes; therefore, Ukrop’s made the decision that any products that contained country ham or came into contact with equipment used to process the country ham are being recalled due to the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

 Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

 The impacted products are as follows with sell-by dates from 9/7/2018 through 10/7/2018:

Product NameNet Weight
Country Ham on Petite Biscuits 8CTNET WT 14 OZ (397g)
