USA – Newly Weds Foods Seasoning Recall Due to Potential Salmonella Contamination Continues

Food Poisoning News

A voluntary recall first initiated by Chicago, Illinois-based Newly Weds Foods, Inc. on May 2, 2024 has been updated and is still ongoing.  The recall of nearly 60,000 pounds of seasoning is due to potential Salmonella contamination.  Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause serious infections, especially in vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems.

“Epidemiologic data show that cucumbers may be contaminated with Salmonella and may be making people sick,” according to an outbreak update from the CDC.

 

New Zealand – Shellfish biotoxin warning for Christchurch and Lyttelton – DSP

MPI

New Zealand Food Safety is advising the public not to collect or consume shellfish gathered from the Christchurch beaches and Lyttelton Harbour due to the presence of diarrhetic shellfish toxins.

“Routine tests on greenshell mussels from Sumner have shown levels of diarrhetic shellfish toxin over the safe limit,” says New Zealand Food Safety deputy director-general Vincent Arbuckle.

The warning extends from Waimairi Beach to the southern head of Lyttelton Harbour (Adderley Head). The affected area includes Lyttelton Harbour and the Avon and Heathcote River Estuary.

“Please do not gather and eat shellfish from this area because anyone doing so could get sick. Affected shellfish include bivalve shellfish such as mussels, oysters, tuatua, pipi, toheroa, cockles and scallops, as well as pūpū (cat’s eyes), Cook’s turban and kina (sea urchin).”

“Cooking the shellfish does not remove the toxin, so shellfish from this area should not be eaten.”

Symptoms of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning usually appear within 30 minutes of eating and last for about a day. Symptoms may include diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea and abdominal cramps.

Pāua, crab and crayfish may still be eaten if the gut has been completely removed prior to cooking, as toxins accumulate in the gut. If the gut is not removed, its contents could contaminate the meat during the cooking process.

Finfish are not affected by this public health warning, but we advise gutting the fish and discarding the liver before cooking.

New Zealand Food Safety has had no notifications of associated illness.

If anyone becomes ill after eating shellfish from an area where a public health warning has been issued, phone Healthline for advice on 0800 61 11 16, or seek medical attention immediately. You are also advised to contact your nearest public health unit and keep any leftover shellfish in case it can be tested.

“New Zealand Food Safety is monitoring shellfish in the region and will notify the public of any changes to the situation,” says Mr Arbuckle.

Commercially harvested shellfish – sold in shops and supermarkets or exported – is subject to strict water and flesh monitoring programmes by New Zealand Food Safety to ensure they are safe to eat.
