Popular Grocery Store Issues Multi-State Recall Over 'Serious' Health Risk
Big Y is warning consumers across multiple states of a potentially "serious" health risk if they consume certain fresh foods obtained in the grocery chain's Made-to-Order areas. Made-To-Order Small Subs, Large Subs, 30' Super Subs, Wraps and Paninis purchased throughout Connecticut and Massachusetts (visit the FDA's website for the complete list of affected stores) on May 20 and May 21 may be contaminated with Salmonella, which can pose an especially "serious" and potentially fatal risk to the elderly, children, and immunocompromised individuals. Otherwise healthy individuals may experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain if infected, with the risk for more severe illness if the bacteria enters the blood stream, which could lead to arterial infections, endocarditis or arthritis, according to the recall. The recall was linked to the ongoing Bedner Growers Inc. Cucumber Outbreak, with the sliced cucumbers available at the impacted locations at risk of contamination. However, even if you purchased a Made-to-Order product without cucumbers in it during the affected time period, there is a risk of cross-contamination. Prepackaged products for customer self-service were not impacted. Upon learning of the link, Big Y immediately "ceased operation in all stores listed above, discarded product within the sub, wrap, and panini service line, then thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the service line." No related illnesses have been reported so far, but folks who purchased Made-To-Order subs, wraps or paninis "are urged" to return them to your point of purchase or show your receipt at the place of purchase for a full Grocery Store Issues Multi-State Recall Over 'Serious' Health Risk first appeared on Parade on May 23, 2025

Listeria alert: Premade wraps at Big Y, Price Chopper trigger health warning
A public health alert has been issued for read-to-eat chicken and bacon wrap products due to concerns of listeria contamination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The products were sold at Big Y and Price Chopper and were produced on May 2, the USDA statement reads. No recall was requested because the affected products are no longer available for purchase. The 'Big Y quick easy meals Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap' was sold in a 10 ounce clear plastic clamshell package with a sell by of May, 5 and lot code 25122. The 'Market 32 by Price Chopper Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap' was also sold in a 10 ounce clear plastic clamshell package and had a sell through date of May 7 and lot code 25122. The products were shipped to distributers in Massachusetts, New York and Connecticut. The problem was found when a state public health partner notified the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of a product sample that tested positive for listeria monocytogenes, according to the USDA. No confirmed reports of reactions after eating the products has been found, but people concerned about an illness are urged to contact a health care provider. Consumption of food contaminated with listeria can cause listeriosis, a 'serious' infection that especially affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems and pregnant women and their newborns, the agency wrote. People outside of these risk groups are less commonly affected. Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms can also occur. For pregnant woman, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. Serious or fatal infections can occur in older adults and people with weakened immune systems, according to the USDA. Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics. People at higher-risk experiencing flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food, are advised to seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.
