Overview

• The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert on July 27 for ham salad products over potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
• The warning covers 12-ounce tubs of Reser’s Fine Foods Ham Salad with a sell-by date of September 1, 2025, and 5-pound tubs of Molly’s Kitchen Ham Salad with a sell-by date of August 31, 2025.
• Investigators traced the risk to breadcrumb ingredients recalled by Newly Weds Foods after FDA-regulated products tested positive for possible Listeria.
• The ham salads were distributed to retail and food service outlets nationwide and may still be in consumer refrigerators or freezers.
• No listeriosis cases have been confirmed, but consumers are urged to discard or return affected tubs and sanitize any contact surfaces.
