Deli sandwiches sold at Walmart recalled
NEW YORK – Zemco Industries, based in Buffalo, New York, has recalled about 380,000 pounds of deli meat that was sold at Walmart stores nationwide.
Officials with the Department of Agriculture said the meat may be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, a potentially deadly bacterial disease. The listeria was discovered in a retail sample collected by inspectors in Georgia. The USDA has not received any reports of illnesses related to the meats.
The recall includes Marketside Grab and Go sandwiches with use by dates from August 20 through September 10.
Upon learning of the voluntary recall, Walmart immediately told its stores to remove the meat from their shelves, the company said in a statement.
