Togo’s Sandwiches recently learned that the supplier of its pastrami meat product, Rose & Shore, has issued a voluntary recall in accordance with USDA requirements, after finding Listeria Monocytogenes in one Lot of pastrami. The USDA has received no confirmed reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product.
Togo’s follows strict food safety guidelines to ensure the health and well being of their guests. Togo’s has taken immediate measures to ensure that none of the pastrami under the recall is currently being used in any restaurants.
“At Togo’s, we take food safety very seriously. We have extensive internal monitoring systems that are the backbone of our daily operations,” said Tony Gioia, chairman and CEO of Togo’s Eateries Inc. “In addition, we engage a leading third party provider of specialized brand protection services, to monitor our restaurants food safety systems, ensuring compliance on an ongoing basis.
