Listeria in Neparovana Sausage Sold in Queens
Neparovana smoked sausage sold at Muncan Food Corp, 676 Seneca Avenue, Ridgewood, Queens may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, a potentially-fatal foodborne pathogen. The Neparovana smoked sausage was sold in bulk from the store’s deli display cooler. Muncan Food Corp has recalled the sausage.
If you ate any of the recalled Neparovana smoked sausage, you have a long wait--up to 70 days after consumption of the sausage-- to see if you contracted a Listeria infection (listeriosis). Listeria infections are rare but serious. Listeria infections can cause serious complications for pregnant women. Although a pregnant woman's symptoms are usually mild, the infection can cause miscarriage or stillbirth. Listeriosis is also dangerous for the elderly and people with compromised immune systems.
