and last updated

Frozen biscuits that were sold in 12 states have been recalled due to listeria concerns. 

T. Marzetti Co. recalled 23 brands of their frozen biscuit dough as a precautionary measure because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The products were distributed in the following states:

  • Indiana
  • Kentucky
  • Louisiana
  • Tennessee
  • North Carolina
  • South Carolina
  • Pennsylvania
  • Texas
  • Virginia

The Food and Drug Administration says no illnesses have been reported from the products.

  • High Fever
  • Severe Headache

The FDA says because the products are not ready-to-eat if the proper baking instructions are followed they should reduce consumer risk, but mishandling or improper baking could still cause illness.
