FDA recalls Classic Delight sandwiches due to Listeria concerns

BALTIMORE, MD — The FDA has issued a recall of Classic Delight sandwiches due to concerns about Listeria contamination. The recall affects individually wrapped sandwiches shipped to distributors in Arkansas, California, Maryland, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.

According to the FDA, the recall was initiated after environmental samples tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in vulnerable populations. Symptoms in healthy people infected with Listeria can include high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. While pregnant women are more likely to suffer miscarriages or stillbirths, infants, the frail or elderly, and others with weakened immune systems are at greatest risk of serious illness.

The products in question were manufactured between May 11, 2023 and June 6, 2024 and may have been sold in food service, convenience store and vending machines. The recall affects a total of ten products. Customers who purchased any of the affected products are advised to throw them away or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Questions or concerns can be directed to the Classic Delight Consumer Hotline at 419-300-3202.
