Flying Food Group’s Lawrenceville, GA facility is updating its recall of FDA regulated sandwiches originally announced on December 3, 2011 to include two additional products that were inadvertently excluded from its original press release. The two additional products are a Turkey Quarter Pounder and a Turkey Quarter Pounder with Tomatoes. Flying Foods is recalling these products, as well as other products announced on December 3, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The following is a complete list of FDA regulated products implicated in this recall. These products were made for Race Trac and were distributed to retail outlets in Georgia only:
