February 14, 2013 - Perfect Pasta Inc., an Addison, Ill. establishment, is recalling approximately 315 pounds of ready-to-eat roast beef products due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture?s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The following product is subject to recall:
5-lb. packages of ?GINA FULLY COOKED ROAST BEEF WITH SEASONED JUICE? with a lot code number of ?040615RB? and a pack date of ?02-06-13.?
The products subject to recall bear the establishment number ?EST. 19829? inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced on February 6, 2013, and distributed to institutions in Chicago.
The problem was discovered by FSIS through microbiological testing by the Agency. After the company received a positive sample for Listeria monocytogenes, most of its products were held but a portion may have been cross-contaminated as a result of equipment not being cleaned between production shifts and shipped into commerce. FSIS and the company have not received reports of illnesses due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
