US-based establishment HAR Maspeth is recalling Jinga Pan Fried Anchovies as they may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The product associated with the recall include 2oz and 4oz packages of Jinga Pan Fried Anchovies with an expiration date of "9/28/2014" stamped on the top.
The recall has been initiated after the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Food Inspectors and Food Laboratory personnel found the presence of listeria in the product during a routine sampling.
The recalled products have been distributed across the nation in retail stores and through mail orders.
To date, one alleged illness case has been reported associated with the recall.
Consumption of food contaminated with listeria may cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems.
Customers who have bought the recalled products are advised to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
