Calzones recalled for possible Listeria contamination

Albie's Foods, a Gaylord, Mich. establishment, is recalling approximately 311 pounds of pizza calzone products due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

The fully cooked, ready-to-eat, calzone products were produced on April 10, 2012, and then shipped to institutions in Indiana and Michigan. The products subject to recall include packages containing 48 4.5-oz. pieces of "Albie's Pizza Calzone." Each package bears the establishment number "EST. 10100" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The problem was discovered during routine FSIS testing. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products.
