Sandwiches distributed in Kentucky recalled due to listeria concerns

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – Lipari Foods has issued a voluntary recall of Premo and Fresh Grab sandwiches due to potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes.

Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

The product was distributed exclusively by Lipari Foods in Warren, Michigan to food service and retail stores throughout Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
