Another Listeria Recall in Our Area

A Camden company is recalling 200,000 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken and turkey sold nationwide.

The Agriculture Department says the poultry may be linked to a listeria outbreak that sickened 50 people and killed seven.

Jack Lambersky Poultry Co. is pulling precooked turkey and chicken products made between June 27 and July 3. It has halted operations.

Tests showed some of the meat contained a listeria strain matching the one that infected people in eight northeastern states.

The meat was distributed to retail stores and other institutions nationwide. The company does business as J.L. Foods Co.
