US recall of yu shang food inc ready-to-eat products due to deadly listeria contamination

this recall was announced november 9, but expanded on november 21, and deaths were reported on november 22. today is november 23.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21, 2024 – Yu Shang Food, Inc., a Spartanburg, SC, establishment, is recalling approximately 72,240 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products within their shelf life that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). This release is being reissued to expand the scope of the November 9, 2024, recall.

All ready-to-eat products produced prior to October 28, 2024, are subject to recall. View full product list. View labels.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-46684” or “EST. M46684” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide and available for purchase online. 

some emphasis mine.

Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

emphasis mine. for the record, it can take up to around 90 days for listeria to cause illness. as in, closer to three months after eating something contaminated with listeria.

and unfortunately, a pregnant person has died, losing both of their twins. but only one of the twins tested positive for listeria, so the other one does not technically count as a related death. might be a false negative.

right now there have been 11 cases, 9 hospitalizations, and 2-3 deaths depending on how you count. these numbers are expected to rise. do not rely on the list of states with confirmed illnesses to keep you safe. these products were shipped nationwide, and are contaminated and capable of causing illness within the affected date range regardless of where they were sold. (before october 28, 2024)

although the CDC uses yu shang braised beef shank as the thumbnail for their investigation, the FSIS has not yet added its picture to the official list of label pictures as of when I am typing this.

this is the style of packaging on these products. there are too many images of the recalled products to add to this post, but if you recognize this style of packaging, please check your fridge and freezer. if you find these products, do not eat them. throw them out or return them to wherever you bought them. sometimes a recall will include a note that it is safe to eat a recalled product if cooked thoroughly, but there is no such language on this FSIS recall.

ALL of these products produced before october 28, 2024, are being recalled.

list of recalled yu shang product names:

Japanese Chasu Pork Belly

Braised Pork Belly In Brown Sauce

Seasoned Pork Feet

Seasoned Pork Hock

as of the time I am posting this, the label list on the FSIS website is outdated, but the product list is the correct expanded version.

listeria can take months to cause illness after exposure, and then up to a month or so for an illness to become officially associated with a foorborne illness outbreak. the true number of people who got sick is expected to be higher, and the number of listeria cases associated with this outbreak is expected to rise. not everyone who gets sick from listeria seeks out medical attention.

most people exposed to listeria will not develop major illness. but if you are in a high risk group and have eaten these products, talk to your doctor. there are antibiotics you can be prescribed before possibly developing symptoms. and as always, if you think you have gotten sick from the recalled products, please consider seeking medical attention, even if just to get your case officially linked to this outbreak. listeriosis can cause long-term medical issues, and if it does, you really want as many relevant medical records of it as possible.

the FSIS is currently working on a list of retail locations that sold these products, but as I post this now, it has not yet been uploaded. these products were also sold online.

as a reminder, I do not post every unites states food recall. please consider staying informed from official government recall sources. and if US recalls are irrelevant to you, please consider staying informed about whatever recalls are relevant to you. chances are, there are more recalls than you realize.

My next post in support of Ukraine is:

Next site, is one we visited in my Ukraine thread on December 2, 2023. The Desna River (Річка Десна). It starts in muscovy and flows into Ukraine. I'm adding it to my Ukraine thread again because muscovy has poisoned the waters of the Desna River in an act of ecocide. The current administration of the US is so worried about eScAlaTiOn that muscovy is getting away with things like poisoning a river. Destroying a dam and flooding thousands of acres. Taking over a nuclear power plant.

The scale of the destruction is so huge that you can literally see the front line from space. That smooth area in the image is the flattened front line area. Forest areas and steppe lands are being destroyed.

#StoprussianEcocide

#StandWithUkraine

#СлаваУкраїні 🇺🇦🌻

The last part obviously didn't have to do with the poisoning of the river. I included that to show how horribly massive the amount of destruction muscovy is causing to the ecology of Ukraine.

Just adding another bit to this post.

Any asshole responding to my Ukraine posts from muscovy with nasty and rude comments can fuck off. Their responses will be deleted, and their accounts will be blocked. I will not entertain muscovy terrorist pieces of shit. And even if you respond in "russian," I will still verify the crap you're spewing, delete it, and block your account. The one I just did replied in "russian" to this post telling me that I "have a toilet in my head." Nope, that's actually you effing muscovy terrorists.

Readers, make sure you have all your favourite Ao3 fics downloaded.

Writers, make sure you have copies of all the fics you have posted on Ao3.

I don’t want to be alarming, but things could get really bad really fast. OTW shared this today on Twitter, and I'm a bit worried about it 😅

Ao3 is a non-profit organisation. If they have to start paying taxes, I have no idea what will happen.

Our dreams have been destroyed, and we have nothing left...😞

🫂You're our last hope in this life🫂

I'm Lama from Gaza, I'm 24 years old, and my husband is Mohammad... We got married in 2022 in a house full of love and happiness. Our house was beautiful, we chose everything in it carefully... We were waiting for the end of the day to go there after a tiring day of work, but the occupation did not leave us. 😔😭💔

This house was bombed with all hatred. Here we are after the genocide. We have nothing... We lost our house, our work, and our car.😭😞

We were displaced to Rafah in a tent that could not accommodate 5 people, and after the displacement from Rafah, we were displaced to Mawasi Khan Yunis again. It was a very difficult period... but now we are in Mawasi Khan Yunis in a tent that does not protect us from the cold of winter or the heat of summer.😞😭

This is our tent, its floor is made of cardboard, as you can see, and I suffer from severe eczema due to the pollution of the air and the materials used, and the medicine is very expensive.😭💔

Urgent: My husband needs a very necessary operation and medication. Please help my husband in order for his health to improve. He is in pain.😞😭🫂🙏🙏

Help us and donate to us. You are our last hope and the lifeline of this life. 🫂🙏

We need you...Donate to us and save what is left of us.😞🙏🙏
