Prosciutto Recalled in Indiana and Illinois

Washington, DC: Orlando Greco & Son Imports, a Carol Stream, Ill, establishment, is recalling approximately 822 pounds of prosciutto products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Specifically, the products subject to recall are Various pound cases of "Prosciutto Boneless Casa Italia."

The products were distributed to restaurants and retailers in Illinois and Indiana.

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. However, listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.
