Summary

Compass Group USA's Fresh & Ready Foods LLC facility was warned for manufacturing ready-to-eat foods (sandwiches, salads, wraps, and snacks) under insanitary conditions in violation of Current Good Manufacturing Practice and Hazard Analysis and Risk-Based Preventive Controls regulations. FDA investigators found Listeria monocytogenes contamination in environmental samples collected throughout the production facility and linked the company's products to a multistate outbreak that sickened ten people across California and Nevada as of July 2025, prompting a recall of RTE foods with use-by dates between April 22 and May 19, 2025. The company's products were determined to be adulterated under federal law due to preparation, packing, or holding under conditions that may have rendered them injurious to health.
