The Kane County Health Department is advising that Elevation Foods is voluntarily recalling containers of Archer Farms-brand egg salad — Freskëtbrand egg salad, tuna salad, and Thai lobster salad — and Archer Farms-brand deviled egg sandwiches sold at Target and Fresh Market due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Elevation Foods identified the problem with the products after receiving positive test results for three containers of affected egg salad which were sampled and tested by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.

The recalled products were manufactured at Elevation Foods’ Knoxville, Tennessee facility. Elevation Foods is working with distributors and retailers to quarantine and recover any impacted product remaining on store shelves.

Fewer than 1,087 cases of product have been directly shipped to retailer warehouses throughout the United States.

Consumers who have purchased any of the recalled products listed above are urged to immediately return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may call 866-761-9566 at any time.
