SAN FERNANDO, California (AP) — At least 10 people in the United States have been sickened in a listeria outbreak linked to ready-to-eat food products, and a producer is voluntarily recalling several products, federal officials said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said Saturday that federal, state, and local officials are investigating the outbreak linked to foods produced by Fresh & Ready Foods LLC of San Fernando, California. The FDA says the 10 people who fell ill were in California and Nevada and required hospitalization.
The agency said the products were sold in Arizona, California, Nevada, and Washington at locations including retailers and food service points of sale, including hospitals, hotels, convenience stores, airports, and by airlines.
