Asian-Style Meat Products Recalled In RI For Listeria Risks

RHODE ISLAND — Yu Shang Food Inc. has recalled more than 4,500 pounds of its read-to-eat Asian-style meat and poultry products because of potential listeria contamination, the Rhode Island Department of Health (RIDOH) said Tuesday.

RIDOH officials said the recalled products were produced from Oct. 21, 2024, to Oct. 27 and have establishment numbers P-46684 or EST. M46684 inside the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) mark of inspection.

The list of recalled products and product labels are on the USDA’s website. These products were shipped to retail locations nationwide, including in Rhode Island, and were available for purchase online, RIDOH officials said.

USDA officials urge restaurants and other establishments to not use or serve the recalled products. The recalled products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

Listeria monocytogenes is a type of bacteria that can cause listeriosis. Symptoms vary depending on the severity of the illness, and symptoms may last from days to several weeks. People who may have eaten the affected product and are experiencing symptoms such as fever, muscle aches, and gastrointestinal issues should seek medical attention.
