The following recall has been announced:
About 410 cases of Egg Salad on Vienna Bread sandwiches, manufactured by Classic Delight, Inc. of St. Marys, Ohio, because the product has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. That organism can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headaches, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, but listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The sandwiches were sold at Pilot travel centers in Ohio, Wisconsin, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Oregon, Iowa, Montana, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Mississippi, Arkansas, West Virginia, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Idaho, Florida, Illinois, Colorado, Georgia, New York, Texas, California, Washington, Arizona and Indiana.
