Busch’s Fresh Food Market Deli Products and Soups Recalls

Date: July 27, 2012
What: Busch’s Fresh Food Market deli products and soups
Why: Listeria monocytogenes contamination
Scope: Busch’s Fresh Food Market stores

Busch’s Fresh Food Market is initiating a recall of certain deli products and soups processed between the dates of July 20 through July 27, 2012 that contain onions produced by Gills Onions. The recall is in connection with an expanded recall announced by Gills Onions of their Peeled Whole Yellow Onions due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

All of the following products involved in this recall have been cooked and generally Listeria bacteria are killed in the cooking process. However, since Busch’s Fresh Food Market cannot guarantee that, the company is asking that all products should be discarded or returned for a full refund or replacement.

The products subject to recall are:

Busch’s Baked Mostaccioli
Busch’s Chicken Wet Burrito
Busch’s Green Chili Chicken Enchiladas
Busch’s Jambalaya with shrimp
Busch’s Down Home Lasagna
Busch’s Chicken Shepherd’s Pie
Busch’s Spaghetti and Meatballs
Busch’s Chicken Quesadillas
Busch’s Sweet Potato Cakes
Busch’s Original Potato Cakes
Busch’s Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbeque Meatballs
All Busch’s Food Bar Soups

Busch’s Fresh Food Market has received no confirmation of illness associated with the consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact their health care provider immediately.
