WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for a ready-to-eat (RTE) turkey wrap product sold at Trader Joe's due to concerns that the product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
A recall was not requested because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.
The turkey wrap was produced on Sept. 10 and packaged in 10-oz. clear plastic clamshell packages labeled “Trader Joe's Turkey Gobbler Wrap” with a best by date of Sept. 16. The product bears establishment number “P-1644” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
This item was shipped to Trader Joe’s retail locations nationwide.
Trader Joe's notified FSIS that food contact surface samples associated with the product tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this product, said USDA.
