MUKILTEO, Wash. -- Jumbo Foods, Mukilteo, Wash., is recalling 762 Smoked Turkey on Sourdough Triple Decker Sandwiches because of the potential of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.

The recall was the result of a routine sampling program conducted by the U.S. Army Veterinary Service, which revealed that the finished product contained the bacteria. The last day Jumbo Foods produced the Smoked Turkey on Sourdough Triple Decker Sandwiches was April 20, 2006.
