WinCo Foods has voluntarily removed its deli sandwich, the "All American ½ Deli Sub," from its Longview store after routine surveillance sampling by the Washington Department of Agriculture revealed they might be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.
The sandwiches were available only at the Longview store and were sold March 2 to March 11. The product removed was labeled as "sell by" March 7 to March 16, according to the Cowlitz County Health Department.
County health department officials said WinCo went beyond official recommendations.
"WinCo only had to pull certain sandwiches that were made in a specific time with a specific product, but they decided to pull all of the All American sandwiches until they know exactly what (the contaminant source) is," county health department spokeswoman Janis Housden said Monday.
