WASHINGTON, May 13, 2025 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert regarding certain ready-to-eat chicken and bacon ranch wraps due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes. A formal recall has not been requested because the affected products are no longer being sold.
The potentially contaminated items were produced on May 2, 2025, and include:
- 10-oz. clear plastic clamshell packages labeled “Big Y quick easy meals CHICKEN BACON RANCH WRAP” with a sell-by date of 05/07/2025 and lot code 25122.
- 10-oz. clamshell packages labeled “MARKET 32 BY PRICE CHOPPER Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap” with a sell-through date of 05/07/2025 and the same lot code 25122.
These products bear establishment number P34657 inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were distributed to retailers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and New York.
The contamination concern was raised after a state public health agency tested a product sample that came back positive for Listeria monocytogenes. As of now, no illnesses have been reported.
Consumers are urged to check their refrigerators and dispose of the products if found. Do not consume them. They can also be returned to the place of purchase.
What You Need to Know About Listeria: Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis, a serious infection especially dangerous to older adults, pregnant women and newborns, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Symptoms may include:
- Fever
- Muscle aches

In pregnant individuals, listeriosis may lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, or serious illness in newborns. The infection is treatable with antibiotics, but early medical attention is critical.
