: Food Poison BlogPrice Chopper Recalls Homestyle Potato Salad Due to Possible Listeria Contamination
By Marler Clark
Today, Price Chopper Supermarkets announced a voluntary recall of its "Regular Homestyle Potato Salad" due to a possible listeria contamination. Containers of the potato salad bore the following UPC Code: 26716700000.
Listeria is a bacterium that causes a serious infection called listeriosis. In a 2011 report issued by the CDC, approximately 300 deaths are caused by listeria infections each year. Generally, healthy adults and children rarely become seriously ill from listeria; however, certain high risk groups include pregnant women, infants, people with weakened immune systems, and the elderly.
According to Mona Golub, vice president of public relations and consumer and marketing services for Price Chopper stores, one container of the potato salad in question was tested randomly and found to potentially contain listeria. The container tested was from a store in the Albany, New York region.
Although Price Chopper is currently not aware of anyone who has complained of becoming sick from the potato salad, the store is taking all necessary precautions to avoid illness.
The store is urging customers to return any "Regular Homestyle Potato Salad" that was purchased in stores' delis between March 19 and March 28 for a full refund.
As an additional outreach to its customers, the company is using the purchase data and customer information stored on Price Chopper AdvantEdge cards to notify customers who purchased the potato salad about the recall.
Customers with questions may speak with a Price Chopper Customer Service Agent by calling 1-800-666-7667 X3 between 8:30AM and 5:00PM Monday through Friday.
