Landshire Nike sandwiches recalled
Landshire, Inc. of St. Louis, Missouri is
voluntarily recalling its Nike All-American and Nike
Super Poor Boy sandwiches because the products may be
contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The
Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH)
discovered the problem after two samples from the
company’s production plant in Caseyville tested
positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
The samples were collected from the Caseyville plant
on Oct. 21, 2011. A sample of the Nike
All-American sandwich and a floor drain adjacent to
the sandwich’s production line both tested positive
for Listeria. The sandwiches – pre-packaged and
individually wrapped salami, bologna, ham and mild
Swiss cheese on a sesame seed sub roll – were
manufactured between Aug. 25 and Oct. 6, 2011.
To date, neither IDPH nor Landshire have received
reports of any confirmed illnesses linked to these
products.
The symptoms of Listeria infection vary by individual
but can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections
in young children, pregnant women, the elderly and
others with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can
include fever, muscle aches, severe headaches and
stiffness, abdominal pain and diarrhea. In pregnant
women, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages or
stillbirths.
The following products are subject to the recall:
• Landshire Nike All-American
• Landshire Nike Super Poor Boy
Production lot codes affected by the recall range
from 11 237 6 through 11 285 6 and can be found on
the side or back of the individual packaged sandwich.
The products were sold at various convenience stores,
wholesale food distributors and grocery stores
throughout Illinois. Consumers who have purchased the
sandwiches may return them to the place of purchase
for a refund. Consumers with questions should contact
Landshire at 314-925-4009.
