BELLVILLE — A warning about ready-to-eat and smoked meat products at the Bellville Meat Market has been withdrawn, the Texas Department of State Health Services said Tuesday.

Last week a warning was issued after the health department found listeria monocytogenes as part of a routine inspection. Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis. The warning was withdrawn after recent lab tests of samples from the market were negative for listeria, the health department said. Bellville is about 60 miles northwest of Houston, in Austin County.
