Sysco Halts All Purchases from Fort Wayne, Ind. Facility that Supplied Frozen Shakes Linked to Listeria Outbreak and Recalls Related Products
February 21 2025 - 10:05PM
Today, Sysco Corporation, the leading global foodservice
distribution company, recalled frozen supplemental shakes linked to
a Listeria monocytogenes outbreak and halted all purchases of other
products supplied by Lyons Magnus from a Fort Wayne, Ind.,
facility.
Lyons Magnus supplied Sysco Imperial and Lyons ReadyCare
supplemental shakes linked to the outbreak. Sysco is immediately
removing all the recalled items from its inventory, notifying
potentially implicated downstream customers of the recall, and
halting production of all products that originate from that
facility. Additional actions will be taken as needed, and Sysco
will continue to cooperate with all agencies.
Sysco expresses our most sincere condolences with those affected
by this outbreak and their families. Food safety is and will
continue to be our top priority, and our focus will always be on

assessments. In addition, Sysco conducts its own routine food
safety audits and requires higher food safety standards on many
products under the Sysco-brand portfolio.
