FSIS public health alert,

Mary's Harvest Fresh Foods Curry Chicken Salad

Curry Chicken Salad may be contaminated with Listeria, which can cause serious infection.

Public health alert, not a recall. Still check yours.

What happened

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on July 30, 2026, for Curry Chicken Salad produced by Mary's Harvest Fresh Foods, Inc., due to concerns that the product may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes (Lm).

The alert covers 8-oz. plastic packages containing portions of "Curry Chicken Salad" with a USE BY: 07/30/2026 date stamp on the lid and the establishment number "P-39928" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The item was produced on July 22, 2026, and shipped to retail locations in Oregon and Washington.

The problem was discovered during routine establishment testing. There have been no confirmed reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Consumption of food contaminated with Lm can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase.
