Trader Joe’s Sushi, Rolls Recalled Over Listeria Concerns

Ready-to-eat sushi, salads and other refrigerated products sold at Trader Joe’s stores, including in several Midwest states, are being recalled because they may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The chain announced Tuesday that they were alerted by their supplier concerning the Fuji Food Products, Inc. recall and subsequently is alerting clients that products sold in more than two dozen states, including Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and Wisconsin, may have been contaminated with Listeria.

Fuji Food Products, Inc. initially announced it was voluntarily recalling ready-to-eat sushi, salads and spring rolls last Wednesday, saying that the problem was discovered in their Brockton, Massachusetts, facility during a routine inspection conducted by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
