The Kroger Co recall: Chicken Salad Sandwich 6.8 oz plastic container Contains

The Kroger Co, of Cincinnati, OH, recalled Chicken Salad Sandwich 6.8 oz plastic container Contains. The FDA's reason: “The firm was notified by their manufacturer that the product is contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.” The FDA classified it Class I: it could cause serious harm or death. The company began the recall voluntarily on September 22, 2017, and the FDA first listed it in its Enforcement Report of October 25, 2017. The FDA has closed the recall: it found the company did all it reasonably could to remove or correct the product.

Source and notes

U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Enforcement Reports (openFDA food recall data) (Public domain (U.S. government work); source U.S. Food and Drug Administration, openFDA), data as of October 25, 2017.

Each week the FDA lists the recalls it has classified in its Enforcement Report, often weeks after the company announced the recall, so a month with five weekly reports tends to count more. Each recall counts once, however many products it covers, in the month FDA first listed it. Class I means the food could cause serious harm or death, Class II temporary or minor harm, and Class III is unlikely to harm anyone. Meat, poultry and most egg products are recalled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, not the FDA, and aren't included. For what to do with a recalled product, see the FDA's recalls page.
