Product Recalls
Stop & Shop cares about your health!
A food recall is voluntary, initiated by a manufacturer or distributor to protect the public from products that may cause health problems or may be misbranded (incorrect labeling and/or packaging).
There are three types of recalls:
Class I - This is the most serious. Eating the food may cause health problems or even death.
Class II - This involves a potential health hazard where there is a remote probability of a health problem if the food is eaten.
Class III - This involves a situation where eating the product will not cause a health problem, but the product still is in violation of a Federal regulation.

Reason: Possible contamination with listeria monocytogenes
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacteria that can cause flu-like symptoms, like high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Although healthy people rarely contract listeriosis, it can be very serious for those who are pregnant or those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy. Infected pregnant women may experience only a mild, flu-like illness, but infections during pregnancy can lead to miscarriage or stillbirth.
Customers who have purchased the affected products should discard any unused portions or bring their purchase receipt to Stop & Shop for a full refund.
