Difficulty in breathing weakness of other muscles abdominal distention and constipation may also be common symptoms. People experiencing these problems should seek immediate medical attention.

The products were imported from Russia and sold to retail stores in New York and California from February through April 2016.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

New #foodsafety #recall possible #salmonella #contamination of CVS Pharmacy’s Gold Emblem Abound Organic Spiced Herbal Tea

CVS Pharmacy
Announces Voluntary Recall of Gold Emblem Abound Organic Spiced Herbal Tea Due
to Possible Health Risk
Consumers:
CVS Pharmacy 1-800-SHOP-CVS
CVS
Pharmacy® announced today that it has voluntarily recalled select cases of Gold
Emblem Abound™ Organic Spiced Herbal Tea following notification from the
manufacturer that the product is potentially contaminated with Salmonella. An
ingredient produced by the manufacturer’s raw material supplier tested positive
for Salmonella in another company’s product. CVS Pharmacy’s Gold Emblem product
also contains this ingredient.
The product
is labeled “Gold Emblem Abound Organic Spiced Herbal Tea 1.41 oz” and was
packed in 1.4 oz cartons. The recalled product has a single best by date of 18
Mar 2018 with a UPC code 0 50428 541043. No other best by dates are affected.
The product was available at CVS Pharmacy stores nationwide.
Salmonella
is an organism that 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
(which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare
circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting
into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial
infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.
Approximately
200 units of the recalled product were sold prior to this recall. The Company
is not aware of any reported cases of illness to date related to this product
and it has issued this voluntary recall as a matter of precaution.
CVS Pharmacy
has removed the affected products from its stores and the manufacturer has
notified the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. A “do not sell” block has also
been placed in the Company’s store register system to prevent further sale of
these recalled items.
Any customer
who purchased the recalled product should immediately discontinue use and
return the item to CVS Pharmacy for a refund. For additional information,
please contact the Company at 1-800-SHOP-CVS FREE Monday – Friday 8:30 AM –
7:00 PM ET.

WASHINGTON,
April 21, 2016 – Meating Place, a Buffalo, N.Y., establishment, is recalling
approximately 325 pounds of ground beef product that may be contaminated with
E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The ground
beef patties were produced on April 15, 2016. The following product is subject
to recall: [View Label (PDF Only)]
5-lb. boxes
of “LORINGO BRAND BEEF PATTIES KEEP FROZEN THE MEATING PLACE INC.” with a
package code of 120106.
The product
subject to recall bears establishment number “Est. 8631” inside the USDA mark
of inspection. The item was shipped to retail and intuitional locations in the
Buffalo, NY area.
The problem
was discovered by FSIS during routine in-plant review of testing results. There
have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this
product.
E. coli
O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody
diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure to
the organism. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of
kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This condition can occur
among persons of any age, but is most common in children under 5-years old and
older adults. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine
output. Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical
care immediately.
FSIS and the
company are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’
freezers.
Consumers
who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products
should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS
routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify
their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the
product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail
distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at
www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
FSIS advises
all consumers to safely prepare their raw meat products, including fresh and
frozen, and only consume ground beef that has been cooked to a temperature of
160° F. The only way to confirm that ground beef is cooked to a temperature
high enough to kill harmful bacteria is to use a food thermometer that measures
internal temperature, http://1.usa.gov/1cDxcDQ.

consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact Vincent Loringo,
President, at (716) 885-3623.

New #foodsafety #recall possible #botulisum #contamination of Mary’s Home Made Vegetable Soup

Mary’s Home
Canning Recalls Mary’s Home Made Vegetable Soup Because of Possible Health Risk
Consumers:
Mary’s Home Canning 717-442-8349
Mary’s Home
Canning of Lancaster, PA is recalling 516 jars of Mary’s Homemade Vegetable
Soup (Net Wt. 16 OZ) and 1,128 jars of Mary’s Homemade Vegetable Soup (Net Wt.
32 OZ), because it has the potential to be contaminated with Clostridium
botulinum, a bacterium which can cause life-threatening illness or death.
Consumers are warned not to use the product even if it does not look or smell
spoiled.
Botulism, a
potentially fatal form of food poisoning, can cause the following symptoms:
general weakness, dizziness, double-vision and trouble with speaking or
swallowing. Difficulty in breathing, weakness of other muscles, abdominal
distension and constipation may also be common symptoms. People experiencing
these problems should seek immediate medical attention.
Mary’s
Homemade Vegetable Soup (Net Wt. 16 OZ) and (Net Wt. 32 OZ) was distributed in
PA, MD and DE in retail stores and farmer’s markets.
These
products were packaged in clear glass jars with white screw top lids in
pint-size and quart-size varieties. The label of the jar reads in part:
“Mary’s Home Made Vegetable Soup…Heat and Serve…829-A Strasburg Road,
Paradise, PA 17562.” No codes or expiration dates are present on these
products.
No illnesses
have been reported to date.
The
potential for contamination was noted after FDA testing found that the pH of
the product was high and it did not receive an adequate process time or
temperature.

Anyone with
a product fitting the above description should return the product to where it
was purchased, if possible, or call Mary’s Home Canning at 717-442-8349 for
return instructions. Phone calls should be made during Eastern Standard Time.
