Mount Vernon, New York-based Sally Sherman Foods is recalling about 3,004 pounds of various products made with chicken that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Inspection Service on Thursday.

The chicken products subject to this Class 1 recall were produced on various dates between February 2, and February 18, 2016, and bear establishment number “P-4400” inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to distribution locations in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Maryland.

The discovery of the possible pathogen contamination was discovered through in-plant sampling that tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes, according to Food Safety News. The company told FSIS they had not received any reports of illness due to consumption of the recalled products, but it is still too early to tell if anyone will become ill.
