What you should do

If you think you became sick from consuming a recalled product, call your doctor.

Check to see if you have the recalled product in your home. Recalled products should be thrown out or returned to the store where they were purchased.

Food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes may not look or smell spoiled but can still make you sick. Symptoms can include vomiting, nausea, persistent fever, muscle aches, severe headache and neck stiffness. Pregnant women, the elderly and people with weakened immune systems are particularly at risk. Although infected pregnant women may experience only mild, flu-like symptoms, the infection can lead to premature delivery, infection of the newborn or even stillbirth. In severe cases of illness, people may die.

Background

This recall was triggered by Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) test results. The CFIA is conducting a food safety investigation, which may lead to the recall of other products. If other high-risk products are recalled, the CFIA will notify the public through updated Food Recall Warnings.

The CFIA is verifying that industry is removing the recalled product from the marketplace.

Illnesses

There have been no reported illnesses associated with the consumption of this product.

USA – Sauer Brands, Inc. Voluntarily Recalls Certain The Spice Hunter Products Because of Potential Salmonella Contamination

Posted on October 14, 2020 by KSW | Leave a comment

FDA

Label example, The Spice Hunter Parsley

Sauer Brands, Inc. is voluntarily recalling The Spice Hunter Products listed below due to the potential presence of Salmonella. After initially certifying that our raw material had tested negative for Salmonella, and was fit for human consumption, our supplier notified us of the potential presence of salmonella in specific lots of organic parsley that it provided to us. Those lots of parsley were used on two specific days in our production. We are recalling other products produced on those same days out of an abundance of caution regarding potential cross contamination.

While Sauer is aware of no reports of illness to date, that relate to these products, Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. If you are experiencing these symptoms, and believe you may have been exposed to Salmonella, please report to a medical provider.

The Spice Hunter Products in question were distributed to the states of Alaska, Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, New Jersey, New Mexico, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington and Wisconsin. The product was produced for sale at retail and spicehunter.com

These products come in clear glass jars marked with lot codes 20217C, 20220C, 20269C and 20270C on the white field on the label. A list of the products is shown in the link above:

New Zealand – Recall to manage Listeria risk in ready-to-eat meat products at Pak’n Save Blenheim

Posted on October 14, 2020 by KSW | Leave a comment

MPI

kswfoodworld Listeria monocytogenes

New Zealand Food Safety is advising the public to return Pak’n Save branded, sliced-in-store, ready-to-eat meat products purchased in Pak’n Save Blenheim as they may contain listeria bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes).

Pak’n Save Blenheim identified the presence of Listeria during routine testing and is recalling the following products sold at Pak’n Save Blenheim with a packed-on date between 06.10.20 up to and including 11.10.20.

Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Pestells Ham Off The Bone
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Ham & Chicken – Farmlands
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Polish Sausage – Hellers
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Champagne Smoked Leg Ham – Premier
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Hot Pork – Farmlands
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Premier Honey Baked Ham
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Manuka Smoked Ham Round – Huttons
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Pastrami – Farmlands
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Roast Beef – Farmlands
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Corned Silverside – Farmlands
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Farmlands Pork Brawn KG
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Cooked Beef Tongue – Farmlands
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Ham & Chicken Flavoured Luncheon – Huttons
Pak’n Save Blenheim brand Roast Beef Meal

New Zealand Food Safety national manager food compliance services Melinda Sando said it was important for consumers to check the date mark on the product label.

“Customers should return the products to Pak’n Save Blenheim for a full refund or cook thoroughly (piping hot all the way through).”

The contamination occurred at Pak’n Save Blenheim. Products from the manufacturers listed that are sold in their own packaging at Pak’n Save Blenheim or sold elsewhere are not affected.

Listeria is commonly found in the environment and can make people sick (listeriosis) if they consume contaminated food.

Infection can be serious, and potentially life-threatening, among vulnerable groups such as pregnant women and their unborn babies, newborn babies, people with weakened immune systems and elderly people.

For those in the high-risk groups, listeriosis typically has an incubation period of 2 to 3 weeks (or longer) before symptoms appear.

Healthy adults are likely to experience only mild infection, causing mild diarrhoea and flu-like symptoms.

“No reports of illness have been received, however, if you have consumed any of these products and have any concerns about your health, seek medical advice,” Ms Sando said.

If you or anyone in your household is in an at-risk group, it is especially important to take a few simple food safety precautions:

Follow New Zealand Food Safety guidance on high-risk foods to avoid.
Follow good food hygiene practices, such as washing and drying hands before preparing food and after handling or preparing raw foods.
Eat freshly cooked or freshly prepared foods.
Wash all raw fruit and vegetables very well before eating.
Cook foods thoroughly.

Refrigerate leftovers immediately and do not keep for more than 2 days. Reheat to steaming hot before eating.

New Zealand Food Safety is working alongside Pak’n Save Blenheim on the recall and to establish the cause of the issue.
