Food from the Carolinas, dead twins in California and a coast-to-coast listeria recall

A South Carolina food company expanded its recall of chicken, pork and beef products after an outbreak of listeria sicknesses, including at least one infant death in California.

Yu Shang Food, based in Spartanburg, South Carolina, originally recalled 4,589 pounds of Asian-themed ready-to-eat foods on Nov. 9, three weeks after the USDA-Food Safety and Inspection Service found listeria in finished product from Yu Shang and environmental samples.
