USA: Progressive Gourmet Inc. is recalling its six ounce packages of Sausage, Egg, and Cheddar Cheese on English Muffin breakfast sandwiches manufactured for Starbucks Coffee Co. due to possible Listeria monocytogenes.
The product comes in a 6 ounce, clear plastic labeled package marked with Best Before: 07-AUG-2016 on the top.
They were sold to consumers by 250 Starbucks stores in Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma Starbucks Stores on 3/3/16 and 3/4/16 and may be heated at the store level for immediate consumption.
