FSIS Issues Public Health Alert for Kirkland Signature Ready-To-Eat Ham Products Due to Possible Listeria Contamination

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert due to concerns that ready-to-eat (RTE) ham products, which were manufactured by Sunnyvalley Smoked Meats, a Manteca, California-based meat production facility, might have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The FSIS has not requested a recall as it believes that the affected products are no longer available for sale.
