USDA Issues Public Health Alert for Ready-to-Eat Biscuit and Sausage Gravy Products Over Possible Listeria Contamination
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on November 14 warning that biscuits contained in certain ready-to-eat meat products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes and should not be eaten.
The alert covers Mmm! MEALS MADE IN MINUTES brand Biscuit & Sausage Gravy in 9.5-ounce packages with use-by dates from November 12 through November 18, 2026. The biscuits in the products were produced by C.H. Guenther & Son, are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, and were previously recalled by that company. The products were primarily used to stock vending machines.
FSIS said there have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the products. Additional downstream products may be identified as the ingredient recall progresses, and FSIS will update the alert as more information becomes available.
Consumers who have the products at home or at work should not eat them; they should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Listeria is especially dangerous for pregnant women, older adults and people with weakened immune systems, and anyone who develops fever or muscle aches after eating a recalled product should seek medical care.
