Egg Salad Sandwich

Great American Deli, LLC recalled Egg Salad Sandwich in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Dec 23, 2019.

The recall was triggered by possible Listeria contamination: "Almark Foods issued recall for potential Listeria monocytogenes in ingredient used by firm's supplier." Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures and is especially dangerous for pregnant people, newborns, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

The product reached multiple states, recorded by the FDA as "Distributed to 2 consignees located in Lenoir City, TN and Ringgold, GA." A multi-state footprint means the same lot can surface in households far from the producer. The recalling firm is based in Ooltewah, TN. The recall covers 127,880 of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Feb 5, 2020), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
