Upstate business recalls more than 4.5K pounds of meat for listeria risk

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (WSPA) – A Spartanburg business is recalling more than 4,500 lbs. of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products.

According to the United States Department of Agriculture, meat-packaging company Yu Shang Food Inc. is recalling more than 4,500 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry out of precaution.

Testing done in October showed some finished products were positive for the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes is the bacteria responsible for causing a listeriosis infection, or commonly referred to as listeriosis.

According to the CDC , people who are pregnant, aged 65 and up, newborns or those who have weakened immune systems can be the most susceptible to listeriosis’ symptoms.

The USDA says “listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms.”

The ready-to-eat meat and poultry items were produced from October 21 to October 27, 2024. These products have “used by” dates ranging from 21-AUG-2025 through 27-AUG-2025. View full product list . View labels .
