Check your fridge ASAP. Some ready-to-eat ham salad products have been recalled due to potential listeria monocytogenes contamination, according to a health alert issued by theU.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The affected products include Reser's Fine Foods Ham Salad, which is packaged in 12-ounce plastic tubs with a sell-by date of 09/01/25, and Molly's Kitchen Ham Salad, which comes in 5-pound clear plastic tubs with a sell-by date of 08/31/25. The items were sold at stores nationwide. Reser's Fine Foods, Inc. of Topeka, Kan., determined that the breadcrumbs used in the ham salad products areconnected to another recent recall involving tuna saladthat was possibly contaminated with listeria, which triggered this new recall. So far, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions related to either recall. Listeria can cause a serious infection, particularly in older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, pregnant women, and newborns. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, and premature delivery. People in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating the contaminated food should seek medical care, the FSIS advises. People outside these risk groups may experience milder symptoms, such as diarrhea and vomiting, which usually start within 24 hours after eating the contaminated food and last one to three days, according to theU.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC). If you have any of these products in your fridge, do not consume them. Throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. If you have food safety questions, you can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854) or send a question via email to MPHotline@usda.gov.
