FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO) — More than 3,200 pounds of ready-to-eat pastrami and corned beef are being recalled because the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service says the potentially contaminated products were shipped to food service locations in Illinois, Iowa and Michigan before being distributed more broadly across the country.

The possible contamination was discovered during routine inspection activities, according to the FSIS.

There have been no confirmed reports of illnesses associated with the recalled products.

The recall involves three types of ready-to-eat beef products.

One is Midamar Premium Beef Pastrami, packaged in 10-pound cardboard boxes containing pieces weighing between two and five pounds. The affected boxes have case code 19410 printed on the label.

Also recalled are Bea’s Best Cooked Corned Beef Brisket products packaged in various-weight 20- to 30-pound cardboard boxes. Those boxes contain two or three pieces and have case code 18919.

The third product is Kirsch Delicatessen Style Cooked Corned Beef Brisket, also packaged in various-weight 20- to 30-pound boxes containing two or three pieces. The affected products carry case code 19751.

The recalled products were produced on July 16 and have a stated shelf life of 60 days, according to FSIS.

Because the products may have been distributed nationwide after first being shipped to food service locations, federal officials are concerned some of the recalled meat could still be available.

Consumers who have purchased the products are being told not to eat them.

FSIS advises consumers to throw the products away or return them to the location where they were purchased.

Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a potentially serious infection. The greatest risk is generally to older adults, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and newborns, although healthy people can also become infected.

The symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Gastrointestinal symptoms, including diarrhea, can also occur.

In more serious cases, the infection can spread beyond the digestive system.

For pregnant women, listeriosis can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery or a potentially life-threatening infection in a newborn.

FSIS says listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics. People in higher-risk groups who develop flu-like symptoms within two months of eating potentially contaminated food should seek medical attention and tell their health care provider about the exposure.

Consumers should check their refrigerators and freezers for the recalled products and compare the packaging and case codes with the information provided by FSIS.

Anyone who finds a recalled product should not taste it, even if it looks or smells normal.

The agency says consumers should discard the product or return it to the place of purchase.

At this time, FSIS says there are no confirmed illnesses linked to the recalled pastrami or corned beef.
