Companies usually start a recall weeks before the FDA classifies and publishes it; the gap above is that lag.
Reason for recall
The recalled products are potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Listeria monocytogenes can grow at refrigerator temperatures. Infection is most dangerous for pregnant women, newborns, older adults and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can appear up to 70 days after eating contaminated food.
