Sargento Foods Not Impacted by Listeria Recall

The recall was due to a supplier issue, not Sargento-branded products.

Sargento Foods clarifies that its branded products are not affected by a listeria recall, stemming from a supplier issue.
The recall originated from a February 5 recall by Rizo-Lopez Foods, Inc., affecting a limited amount of Sargento's food service and ingredient products.
No Sargento-branded retail products are involved in the recall, which was misreported by some media outlets.
The recall has led to 26 illnesses, including two deaths and 23 hospitalizations, linked to products from Rizo-Lopez Foods, Inc.
Sargento has terminated its relationship with Rizo-Lopez Foods, Inc., and has notified its affected customers.
