FSIS Recalls 3,200 Pounds of Pastrami and Corned Beef Over Listeria Risk

Summary
More than 3,200 pounds of ready-to-eat pastrami and corned beef were recalled after USDA inspectors flagged possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination during routine checks.
The products were made on July 16, carry a 60-day shelf life, and were first shipped to foodservice locations in Illinois, Iowa and Michigan before wider nationwide distribution.
FSIS identified three affected items by case code: Midamar Premium Beef Pastrami 19410, Bea’s Best Cooked Corned Beef Brisket 18919, and Kirsch Delicatessen Style Cooked Corned Beef Brisket 19751.
No illnesses have been confirmed, but FSIS warned some products may still be in homes and told consumers not to eat them and to discard or return them.
Listeria can cause severe infection—especially in older adults, pregnant women, newborns and people with weakened immune systems—with symptoms that can appear up to two months after exposure.
