Fuji Food Products Recalls Ready-to-Eat Sushi, Spring Rolls Over Listeria Concerns

Fuji Food Products is recalling ready-to-eat sushi and other products over fears the products might be contaminated with listeria.

Earlier this week, Fuji Food Products issued a recall for ready-to-eat sushi, spring rolls, and salads over concerns the products may be contaminated with listeria. According to the recall notice, the potentially contaminated products were sold at retailers and distributors throughout 31 states. Some of the stores the products were sold include “Trader Joe’s, 7-Eleven, Walgreens, Food Lion, Hannaford, Giant Eagle, Porky Products, Bozzuto’s, Supreme Lobster and Superior Foods,” according to the notice.

The issue itself was discovered during a routine FDA inspection of the Brockton, Massachusetts Fuji Food Products facility. Since the inspection, that facility has “ceased operations pending the outcome of an investigation.” When commenting on the matter, Fuji Food Products CEO Farrell Hirsch said:

“As responsible processors of safe, fresh food for nearly 30 years, we are addressing this problem vigorously and we apologize to those who are affected by it.”

The states affected by the recall include the following: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, D.C., West Virginia and Wisconsin.
