Big Boy Food Group, a Warren, Mich., establishment, is recalling approximately 39,514 pounds of ready-to-eat meal kits that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.  The following product is subject to recall:

Dinolunch Brand:

* 3.6 oz 'DINOLUNCH CARNIVORE HAM & CHEESE' meal kits. Each tray includes ham, cheese, and crackers; a juice drink and Dino cookies. The front of each package bears the establishment number 'EST. 4205' inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as the Use by/Sell by date of '10/24/2009.'
* 3.6 oz 'DINOLUNCH T-REX TURKEY & CHEESE' meal kits. Each tray includes turkey, cheese, and crackers; a juice drink and Dino cookies. The front of each package bears the establishment number 'P- 4205' inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as the Use by/Sell by date of '10/24/2009.'

Each case of the Dinolunch brand meal kits, subject to recall, can be identified by the case code '9237' and contains approximately twelve (12) trays. The products were produced on August 25, 2009 and distributed to wholesale and retail establishments in Texas.

Lunch Buddies Brand:

* 3.6 oz 'Lunch Buddies Ham & Cheese' meal kits. Each tray includes ham, cheese, and crackers; a juice drink and a sweet treat. The front of each package bears the establishment number 'EST. 4205' inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as the Use by/Sell by date of '10/24/2009.'
* 3.6 oz 'Lunch Buddies Turkey & Cheese' meal kits. Each tray includes turkey, cheese, and crackers; a juice drink and a sweet treat. The front of each package bears the establishment number 'P- 4205' inside the USDA mark of inspection as well as the Use by/Sell by date of '10/24/2009.'

Each case of the Lunch Buddies brand meal kits, subject to recall, can be identified by the case code '9237' and contains approximately sixteen (16) trays. The products were produced on August 25, 2009 and distributed to wholesale establishments in Ill., Ind., Ohio, and Wisc. FSIS has no reason to believe that these products are available for consumer purchase as recalled products were distributed only at the wholesale level; so, none of these meal kits would have reached consumers.
