The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken and bacon wrap products produced by Rachael’s Food Corporation, based in Chicopee, MA, because of possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

A recall was not requested as the affected products are no longer available for purchase, but FSIS is concerned that some may remain in consumers’ refrigerators.

The issue was identified when a state public health partner notified FSIS of a product sample that tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.

The affected products were produced on May 2, 2025, and distributed to retail locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York.

Affected Products:

• 10-oz. clear plastic clamshell packages containing “Big Y quick easy meals CHICKEN BACON RANCH WRAP” with “Sell By 05/07/2025” and lot code 25122.
• 10-oz. clear plastic clamshell packages containing “MARKET 32 BY PRICE CHOPPER Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap” with “Sell Through 05/07/2025” and lot code 25122.

The products bear establishment number “P34657” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

As of the posting of this alert, no confirmed reports of adverse reactions have been linked to these products. 

Consumers are urged not to consume these products and should either discard them or return them to the place of purchase. Those concerned about potential illness should contact a healthcare provider.

More about Listeria infections

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still cause serious and sometimes life-threatening infections. Anyone who has eaten any recalled product and developed symptoms of Listeria infection should seek medical treatment and tell their doctors about the possible Listeria exposure.

Also, anyone who has eaten any of the recalled products should monitor themselves for symptoms during the coming weeks because it can take up to 70 days after exposure to Listeria for symptoms of listeriosis to develop.

Symptoms of Listeria infection can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache, and neck stiffness. Specific laboratory tests are required to diagnose Listeria infections, which can mimic other illnesses.

Pregnant women, the elderly, young children, and people such as cancer patients who have weakened immune systems are particularly at risk of serious illnesses, life-threatening infections, and other complications. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, their infections can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn, or even stillbirth.
