Over 72,000 Pounds of Meat Recalled Due to Deadly Listeria Outbreak

Yu Shang Food products linked to 11 illnesses, including one infant death, prompt nationwide recall of ready-to-eat meats.

Yu Shang Food, a South Carolina-based company, has recalled 72,240 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products due to Listeria contamination.
The recall includes 23 products, such as chicken, pork, duck, and lamb, all produced before October 28, 2024, and sold nationwide in stores and online.
The outbreak has resulted in 11 confirmed illnesses across four states, including nine hospitalizations and the death of one infant in California.
The USDA and CDC linked the contamination to routine testing in October 2024, which found Listeria in finished products and environmental samples at Yu Shang’s facility.
Consumers are urged to discard or return affected products and clean any surfaces they may have contacted to prevent further infections.
