Massachusetts Roller Sandwich Recall

By Pritzker | Ruohonen

A Massachusetts Department of Public Health press release warns consumers about a possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination in ready-to-eat roller sandwiches produced by DBC, Inc. (also known as World Class Canapes, Inc.). The sandwiches were distributed to Roche Brothers and Sudbury Farms stores in Massachusetts.

The sandwiches were marked as “Progressive Gourmet Buffalo Chicken Roller Sandwich,” “Progressive Gourmet Chicken Caesar Roller Sandwich,” and “Progressive Gourmet Honey Turkey with Baby Spinach Roller Sandwich.”  The sandwiches were produced on July 30, and it is unlikely they remain for sale in retail stores.  The sandwiches may have been repackaged in stores or used by caterers, thus bearing no labels.

Listeriosis can be dangerous, even deadly, for those with weakened immune symptoms. Those who are experiencing symptoms of listeriosis should seek medical attention immediately.  No illnesses have been reported associated with this recall. The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is also working with the USDA to find the source of contamination at the production facility.
