The USDA/ FSIS issued a public health alert for ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken and bacon wrap products due to concerns that the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. A recall was not requested because the affected products are no longer available for purchase. The RTE chicken and bacon ranch wrap products were produced on May 2, 2025. The subject to the public health alert are, 10-oz. clear plastic clamshell packages containing “Big Y quick easy meals CHICKEN BACON RANCH WRAP” with “Sell By 05/07/2025”, and 10-oz. clear plastic clamshell packages containing “MARKET 32 BY PRICE CHOPPER Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap” with “Sell Through 05/07/2025”. These items were shipped to distributors in Massachusetts and New York and further distributed to retail locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York. The problem was discovered when a state public health partner notified FSIS of a product sample that tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products.
