The recalled products are identified by the “Use By” dates from 4/22/2025 to 05/19/2025 and include brand names such as Fresh & Ready Foods, City Point Market Fresh Food to Go, and Fresh Take Crave Away. The recalled products were distributed between 04/18/2025 and 04/28/2025 and sold in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Washington at a variety of locations, including retailers and food service locations such as hospitals, hotels, convenience stores, airports, and airlines. The FDA and CDC began investigating this cluster in 2024. However, there was not enough evidence in the previous investigation to identify a source for the outbreak. The investigation was reopened in April 2025 after FDA investigators found Listeria in environmental samples collected from Fresh & Ready Foods, LLC during a routine surveillance inspection. WGS analysis confirmed that the strain of Listeria found at Fresh & Ready Foods, LLC matches the strain of Listeria causing illnesses in this outbreak. Records reviewed from facilities indicated that ready-to-eat foods made by Fresh & Ready Foods, LLC, were confirmed to have been served in at least three of the facilities. As of May 9, 2025, a total of 10 people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria monocytogenes have been reported from two states. All 10 people have been hospitalized. The recalled products were distributed between 04/18/2025 and 04/28/2025 and sold in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Washington at a variety of locations, including retailers and food service locations such as hospitals, hotels, convenience stores, airports, and airlines. @ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/outbreak-investigation-listeria-monocytogenes-ready-eat-foods-may-2025#:~:text=Fresh%20%26%20Ready%20Foods%2C%20LLC%20has,Fresh%20%26%20Ready%20Foods
