Three Illinois residents were confirmed ill, and the implicated fully cooked pork product was produced on 20 January and distributed to retail delis in Illinois and Indiana.
FSIS said no recall was requested because the products are no longer for sale, but consumers may still have packages marked use-by 26 March 2026 and establishment number 21406.
