Meal Kits Recalled Due to Listeria Risk

Home Chef Meal Kits Recalled Because of Listeria Concerns

The Recall Went Into Effect on Oct 11

The Kroger Co. is recalling Home Chef Asian Style Chicken Stir Fry because meal kits contain cooked chicken which was recalled because of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. According to the details posted online by the Food and Drugs Administration, the recall was initiated on Oct. 11 and is ongoing.


The recalled product was distributed to retail stores in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Lousiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming.


Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has eaten any recalled product and developed symptoms of Listeria infection should seek medical treatment and tell their doctors about the possible Listeria exposure. Also, anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products should monitor themselves for symptoms during the coming weeks because it can take up to 70 days after exposure to Listeria for symptoms of listeriosis to develop. Symptoms of Listeria infection can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness. Specific laboratory tests are required to diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other illnesses.


Retailers and consumers should not use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product.
