The Food and Drug Administration Issues Recall for Listeria Contaminated Frozen Shakes
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a recall for frozen nutritional shakes after a listeria outbreak has tragically led to 12 deaths and affected 38 individuals across 21 states. The outbreak, first flagged by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has been a concern since 2018, with the latest confirmations arising from recent investigations into products produced by Prairie Farms Dairy at their facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Samples from the processing area have confirmed the presence of listeria, prompting the FDA to take action. The affected products are believed to be part of a long-standing problem linked to nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
If you have purchased frozen shakes manufactured by Prairie Farms Dairy, please check for recalls and avoid consuming potentially contaminated products.
