29,000 Pounds Of Ham Products Recalled For Listeria Contamination

Field Packing company of Owensoboro, Kentucy is voluntarily recalling over 29,000 pounds of ham products due to a possible contamination of Listeria after samples tested positive for the bacteria.

USDA: The products subject to recall are:
  • 11 lb. packages of " BONELESS, HICKORY SMOKED, Mickelberry's, Ready to Eat, HAM, WATER ADDED." The establishment code "EST. 7467" appears inside the USDA mark of inspection. The product has a sell by date of May 27, 2005, that appears on the package and on the case underneath case codes "10793" and "205696."
  • 4 lb. packages of "HONEY HAM WITH NATURAL JUICES, KENTUCKY'S ORIGINAL, KENTUCKY LEGEND, HONEY DOUBLE SMOKED, HICKORY SMOKED." The establishment code "EST. 7467" appears inside the USDA mark of inspection. The product has a sell by date of May 27, 2005, that appears on the package and on the case underneath case codes of "07088" and "205696."
The hams were produced on March 4, 2005. The Mickelberry's hams were distributed to institutional and food service customers in California, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Minnesota. The Kentucky Legend hams were distributed to retail stores in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee.

The problem was discovered through company testing. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products.

Listeria monocytogenes is known to cause health problems in people with weakened immune systems, pregnant or nursing mothers and can cause listeriousis, a rare but often fatal disease.
