Grocery Stores Linked To Health Alert: What to Know in Connecticut

CONNECTICUT — Federal health officials have issued a public health alert for some ready-to-eat chicken and bacon wrap products sold in Connecticut.

The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said that the products sold at Big Y, Market 32, and Price Chopper were produced on May 2, 2025, and may be contaminated with Listeria.

The affected "Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap" products were sold in 10-oz. clear plastic clamshell packages with sell-through dates of May 7, 2025, and a lot code of 25122. A recall was not requested because the affected products are no longer available for purchase.

The foods bear establishment number “P34657” inside the USDA mark of inspection, and were shipped to distributors in Massachusetts and New York, before making their way to retail locations in Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York.

Although the products are no longer being sold, FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers' refrigerators. Health officials advise these products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from eating these products, according to the FSIS. The problem was discovered when a state public health partner notified FSIS of a product sample that tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, which can cause listerosis.

Common symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, nausea, and diarrhea. If the infection spreads to the nervous system, other symptoms may develop, including headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and convulsions. Symptoms usually begin about 3 weeks after being exposed to Listeria, according to health officials.
