Nationwide Listeria recall issued for 4,589 pounds of meat

WASHINGTON—A recall has been issued for approximately 4,589 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products distributed nationwide due to potential Listeria contamination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The recall affects products manufactured by Yu Shang Food, Inc, of Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The affected items were produced between October 21 and October 27, 2024, and bear “used by” dates ranging from August 21, 2025, to August 27, 2025. A full list of the recalled products and their labels can be found on the FSIS website. The products bear establishment number “P-46684” or “EST. M46684” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations nationwide and sold online.

The recall was initiated after routine testing by the FSIS detected Listeria monocytogenes in a finished product produced by Yu Shang Food, Inc on October 21, 2024.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that can be particularly harmful to older adults, individuals with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and newborns. Symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, headache, confusion, convulsions, and more. In severe cases, the infection can spread beyond the gastrointestinal tract and become life-threatening.

Consumers who have purchased these products are advised not to consume them and to discard or return them to their place of purchase. The FSIS will continue to monitor the effectiveness of the recall and will publish a retail distribution list when available on their website.
