A total of 10 people infected with the outbreak strain of Listeria were reported from two states. Sick people’s samples were collected from December 3, 2023, to September 9, 2024. Of the 10 people with information available, all 10 were hospitalized. One death was reported from Nevada.
On March 31, 2025, FDA collected environmental samples for testing at Fresh & Ready Foods, LLC. WGS showed that the Listeria in the environmental isolates were closely related to bacteria from sick people. This means that people likely got sick from eating ready-to-eat foods made by Fresh & Ready Foods LLC.
Records reviewed from facilities indicated that ready-to-eat foods made by Fresh & Ready Foods LLC were served in three facilities.
Fresh & Ready Foods LLC ready-to-eat products were recalled on May 10, 2025. Contaminated products are no longer available for sale.
