Al-Safa US LLC, based in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, is recalling approximately 2,010 pounds of imported frozen ready-to-eat chicken products due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The products, produced in Canada on June 5, 2024, and imported into the U.S. on June 13 and 21, 2024, include:

- 14.11-oz. packages of “Al Safa Halal Fully Cooked Chicken Chapli Kebab” with “NOV 30 25” and “0605416” on the package.

These items bear establishment number “866” inside the Canadian mark of inspection and were distributed nationwide.

Routine testing by FSIS detected potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. No illnesses have been reported. Consumers should not consume these products but dispose of them or return them to the store. Listeriosis symptoms include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, and loss of balance, with more severe impacts on vulnerable groups like older adults and those with weakened immune systems.
