Recall of various branded prepared meals

A recall has been issued for several prepared meals due to the possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. This bacterium can cause mild flu-like symptoms in healthy individuals, but it poses a greater risk to vulnerable groups such as pregnant women, infants, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems. The affected products include Fit Foods Chicken & Chorizo with Baby Potatoes, Fit Foods Chicken & Stuffing with Potatoes and Gravy, Chef Select High Protein Jamaican Jerk Chicken, and Fresh Choice Kitchen Roast Chicken Dinner, with specific batch codes and use-by dates listed in the recall notice.

Consumers should be aware of the specific batches that are affected, which have use-by dates ranging from September 17 to September 27, 2026. Retailers are required to remove these products from their shelves and display recall notices at the point of sale. It is important for consumers to check if they have purchased any of the implicated batches and to refrain from consuming them to avoid potential health risks.
