More than 230,000 pounds of fully cooked ham and pepperoni products shipped to retail stores nationwide are being recalled because they may be contaminated with listeria.
Alexander & Hornung, a St. Clair Shores, Michigan-based business unit of Perdue Premium Meat Co., initiated the recall after product sampling detected the bacteria that can cause serious infection, according to a notice posted Sunday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service, or FSIS.
The recall includes 17 products bearing the establishment number "EST. M10125" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The numerous meat brands being recalled include Alexander & Hornung, Big Y, Butcher Boy, Five Star, Food Club, Garrrett Valley Farms, Niman Ranch, Open Nature and Wellshire Wood.
