Meat Recall As Warning Issued Over Potential Listeria Contamination
YuShang Food, a South Carolina food establishment, is issuing a recall of approximately 4,589 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products due to a possible Listeria contamination.
The problem was discovered after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) performed routine testing and subsequently found that the product was positive for listeria monocytogenes.
The items were produced from October 21 to October 27, and have “use by” dates which range from August 21, 2025, to August 27, 2025.
Nine items are being recalled. They have the numbers “P-46684” or “EST. M46684” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The items were shipped to nationwide retail locations and were available for purchase online.
Recalled meat items:
Yushang Brand Cooked Chicken—20 ounce—Vacuum Pack
Japanese Chashu Pork Belly—16 ounce—Vacuum Pack
Seasoned Pork Hock—20 ounce
Braised Pork Belly in Brown Sauce—16 ounce
Yushang Brand Cooked Pork Hock—1.4 pounds
Chinese Brand Spicy Chicken Feet—8 ounce
Bazhen Seasoned Whole Chicken—20 ounce
Braised Beef Shank—16 ounce
Seasoned Pork Tongues—12 ounce
The FSIS said that the products may be in the freezers and/or refrigerators of some consumers.
Consumers that have purchased the products are urged not to consume them. The products should either be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
What Is Listeria?
Listeria is a genus of bacteria, with listeria monocytogenes being the strain responsible for listeriosis.
This bacterium is resilient, capable of thriving in moist environments, soil, water, decaying vegetation, and animals. It can survive and even proliferate under refrigeration and other food preservation methods, making it particularly challenging to control in food products.
Consumption of food that has been contaminated with listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis. This is a serious infection that primarily affects young children, frail and elderly people, people with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborn babies.
In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infections in newborns. Listeriosis can be fatal for older people and for those with weakened immune systems.
Healthy individuals can suffer short-term symptoms, including high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that listeria is the third leading cause of death from foodborne illnesses in the United States, responsible for approximately 1,600 cases of food poisoning each year and around 260 fatalities.
