Check Your Grocery List Twice for Listeria Ham if you live in Maine or New Hampshire

By Listeria Attorney

Associated Grocers of Maine, importing firm, a Gardiner, Maine, establishment, is recalling approximately 312 pounds of ham products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The following products are subject to recall:

16-ounce packages of 'SUPER TRIM, Shurfine, IMPORTED, COOKED HAM, WATER ADDED, 98% FAT FREE.'

Each package bears the establishment number '141' inside the Canadian seal of inspection and a Sell by date of '10JA24.'  The ham products were produced on November 25, 2009, and distributed to retail establishments in Maine and New Hampshire.  FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.  The problem was discovered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) who notified FSIS. The CFIA notified FSIS that some of the recalled ham products had been exported to the United States. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product.
