Chicken Salad Sandwiches Recall: 2,800 Sandwiches Have Possible Listeria Contamination

-- A South Carolina company is recalling about 2,800 of its chicken salad sandwiches because of concerns about possible listeria contamination.

The sandwiches, from the Grand Strand Sandwich Co. of Longs, S.C., were distributed in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. They carried the following labels: Grand Strand Sandwich, Lunch Box Sandwiches and Country Harvest Sandwiches, and came in 4.5 ounce and 5 ounce packaging.

According to the company, the sandwiches may contain eggs that were part of a previous recall from Michael Foods in Minnesota. The company that made the chicken salad for Grand Strand bought some of the hard cooked eggs from Michael Foods and isn't sure whether they were used in the Grand Strand Sandwiches.

"Just to be safe," Grand Strand said it was recalling some of its sandwiches.

The company says it is likely that some of the sandwiches may have already been consumed. There are no reports of illnesses in connection with the sandwiches.

Consumers can call Grand Strand Sandwich at 800-758-0476 with questions.

Who would buy a sandwich that was made in another state?

If you buy a premade chicken salad sandwich, you must hold some culpability in what happens to you.

I learned that lesson the hard way. Bought one on an Amtrak train once and was sick for days. I haven't eaten a premade sandwich since.

Good idea. What did you expect? Chickens are filthy.

I agree, I would not buy any pre-made sandwich that has been sitting for god knows how long. I don't even like to pre-make my sandwiches that I take to work. I pack all the fillings separately and make my sandwich right before I'm ready to eat it. Soggy bread is gross.

toast the bread. layer the dried lettuce on the bread as a barrier. create a thin waterproof barrier with a thin spread of mayo, mustard, or whatever you put

I'm not a foodie or particularly concerned about free range and organic.
But I'm not buying any chicken salad sandwiches that could be recalled.

If they don't make their own chicken salad and prepare the sandwich on site I'm not buying one.
