Chicken-Listeria Recall Affects Tennesse Prisons and Mental Health Institutions
State of Tennessee Cook Chill, a Nashville, Tennessee, firm, is recalling approximately 2,768 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken legs due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. The following products are subject to recall:
- Cases of "BAKED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS" Each case bears the case code "D257168C" and the establishment number "P-19120" inside the USDA seal of inspection.
- Cases of "OVEN FRIED BREADED CHICKEN LEG QUARTERS, smoke flavor added." Each case bears the case code "D257154C" and the establishment number "P-19120" inside the USDA seal of inspection.
The chicken products were produced on April 25, 2007 and were distributed to Tennessee prisons and mental health institutions. There was no retail distribution of the recalled ready-to-eat chicken legs.
The incubation period for listeriosis can be as long as 70 days. That means someone who ate contaminated chicken legs today may not show any symptoms of listeriosis until July. If you have eaten any Calco sprouts, you should watch for Listeria symptoms, including fever, muscle aches, diarrhea, headache, loss of balance and confusion. If you are pregnant and ate the recalled chicken legs, your unborn baby is at risk. Read about Listeria and pregnancy.
