Latest Chicken Caesar Wrap Listeria Developments
June 2026
- June 25, 2026 – FSIS issued a public health alert for ready-to-eat FRESH SEASONS Kitchen Chicken Caesar Wrap products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. Officials said the products were no longer available for purchase but could still be in consumers’ refrigerators [1]
- June 25, 2026 – FSIS identified the affected product as an 8.7-ounce clear plastic wrapped package marked “FRESH SEASONS Kitchen Chicken Caesar Wrap,” with “Sell By:6/24/2026” on the back label and establishment number P-45091 inside the USDA mark of inspection [1]
- June 25, 2026 – FSIS reported that routine product testing detected Listeria monocytogenes in a sample. No confirmed illnesses had been reported, and a recall was not requested because the products were no longer available for purchase [1]
What Are the Affected Chicken Caesar Wraps?
The affected products are ready-to-eat FRESH SEASONS Kitchen Chicken Caesar Wraps produced by Taher, Inc. on June 16, 2026. They were packaged in 8.7-ounce clear plastic wrapping and shipped to Holiday convenience stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Consumers can identify affected wraps by the “Sell By:6/24/2026” date printed on the back label above the ingredients. The packages also carry establishment number P-45091 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
Because the products are ready to eat, consumers may eat them directly from the refrigerator without additional cooking. That makes prompt identification and disposal important when contamination has been detected.
Why Did FSIS Issue a Public Health Alert?
The problem was discovered through routine FSIS product testing. A sample tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, prompting federal officials to issue the June 25 public health alert.
FSIS did not request a formal recall because the affected wraps were no longer available for purchase. The agency remained concerned that consumers could still have the products stored at home.
A public health alert differs from a recall, but the consumer instruction remains clear. People who have an affected wrap should not eat it and should discard it or return it to the place of purchase.
What Is Listeria Monocytogenes?
Listeria monocytogenes is a bacterium that can cause listeriosis. Infection can range from gastrointestinal illness to invasive disease in which the bacteria spread beyond the intestines.
People at greater risk of serious illness include pregnant women, newborns, adults age 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems. Invasive listeriosis can require hospitalization and may become life-threatening.
Unlike many foodborne pathogens, Listeria can survive in refrigerated environments. That characteristic makes contamination of ready-to-eat refrigerated foods particularly concerning.
What Symptoms and Injuries Can Listeriosis Cause?
Symptoms may include fever, muscle aches, fatigue, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance, and seizures. Some people may first experience diarrhea, vomiting, or other gastrointestinal symptoms.
CDC states that invasive listeriosis usually begins within two weeks after eating contaminated food, although the timing can vary. People who develop symptoms after eating an affected wrap should contact a healthcare provider and mention the possible Listeria exposure.
Pregnant women may experience only mild flu-like symptoms or may have few noticeable symptoms. However, infection during pregnancy can result in miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection in a newborn.
Older adults and people with weakened immune systems may also face a greater risk of severe disease. No confirmed illnesses were reported in connection with the wraps when FSIS issued the alert.
How Can Contamination Occur?
Listeria contamination may occur during food preparation, ingredient handling, production, assembly, packaging, refrigeration, storage, transportation, or contact with contaminated food-processing surfaces.
The public alert confirms that FSIS detected the organism in a product sample. Determining exactly how contamination entered the affected production process would require additional investigation of sanitation practices, ingredients, equipment, and production records.
A legal investigation may also examine testing results, distribution records, facility sanitation, food-contact surfaces, and the timing of warnings issued after contamination was identified.
Who May Be Affected?
Consumers may be affected if they purchased FRESH SEASONS Kitchen Chicken Caesar Wraps from Holiday convenience stores in Minnesota or Wisconsin and the package matches the identifying information in the alert.
People who ate an affected wrap may need to monitor for symptoms, particularly if they are pregnant, age 65 or older, immunocompromised, undergoing cancer treatment, or taking medications that suppress immune function.
Family members may also have legal questions when a loved one develops severe listeriosis, requires hospitalization, experiences pregnancy complications, or suffers another significant injury after eating contaminated food.
Who May Be Liable?
Potentially responsible parties may include a food manufacturer, ingredient supplier, distributor, retailer, sanitation contractor, or another company involved in producing or selling the affected product. Liability depends on the evidence and applicable law.
Potential claims may involve contaminated food, negligent production or sanitation, inadequate warnings, breach of warranty, or other legal theories available under state law.
The FSIS alert does not automatically establish liability in an individual case. Product identification, medical evidence, causation, damages, and other possible sources of exposure may need to be evaluated.
Do I Qualify?
- Did you eat an 8.7-ounce FRESH SEASONS Kitchen Chicken Caesar Wrap matching the FSIS alert?
- Did you develop symptoms of listeriosis after eating the affected product?
- Were you diagnosed with Listeria infection or treated for a related illness or complication?
- Do you have packaging, purchase records, medical records, laboratory results, or other supporting evidence?
An individualized legal review can determine whether the product information, exposure timing, diagnosis, medical records, damages, and applicable filing deadline support a potential claim.
What Evidence Should I Preserve?
Consumers who became ill should preserve the package, product label, receipt, photographs, payment records, and any remaining product that can be stored safely. The sell-by date and establishment number can help establish whether the wrap matches the FSIS alert.
Medical evidence may include laboratory results, emergency-room records, physician notes, prescriptions, hospitalization records, and follow-up care. A written timeline showing when the wrap was eaten and when symptoms began can also be useful.
Records of lost wages, travel expenses, childcare costs, and other financial losses may help document damages. Consumers should also retain communications with Holiday, Taher, FSIS, or healthcare providers related to the incident.
