Chicken Caesar wraps sold in 2 states may contain deadly Listeria, USDA warns
Routine testing found the bacteria in ready-to-eat wraps sold at Holiday convenience stores
The U.S. Department of Agriculture has issued a public health alert for ready-to-eat chicken Caesar wraps sold at Holiday convenience stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin after routine testing found the products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
The Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said a recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase. However, the agency warned consumers who may still have the wraps in their refrigerators not to eat them.
The alert covers 8.7-ounce "Fresh Seasons Kitchen Chicken Caesar Wrap" packages produced on June 16, 2026, with a "Sell By: 6/24/2026" date printed on the back label. The products bear establishment number "P-45091" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

According to FSIS, the wraps were shipped to Holiday convenience stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The issue was identified during routine FSIS product testing after a sample tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes.
There have been no confirmed reports of illnesses linked to the products, the agency said. Consumers concerned they may have become sick should contact a healthcare provider.

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, pregnant women and their newborns, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms can include fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. In pregnant women, the infection can lead to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery or life-threatening infection in newborns, according to the USDA.
FSIS urged consumers who purchased the wraps not to eat them. Instead, the agency said the products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
