The recall is more than just peanut butter.... FDA Update on Peanut Butter Recall Salmonella found in the ConAgra Plant As a follow-up to the recent Salmonella outbreak linked to peanut butter, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is conducting an extensive inspection of ConAgra's Sylvester, Georgia processing plant. Samples collected by the FDA revealed the presence of Salmonella. The fact that FDA found Salmonella in the plant environment further suggests that the contamination likely took place prior to the product reaching consumers. Last week, tests by several states identified Salmonella in many open jars of Peter Pan and Great Value peanut butter recovered from consumers. In these instances, the Salmonella found in the plant and in the open jars matched the outbreak strain recovered from consumers who became ill. Peanut Butter Toppings Part of Recall FDA has learned that the ConAgra plant in Sylvester, GA, sent bulk Peter Pan peanut butter to its plant in Humboldt, TN. The three brands described below are part of the original Peter Pan recall. These brands have been recalled and are no longer being sold. However, some consumers may still have these products in their home. Consumers who have any of the products listed below should discard them. Individuals who are not sure if the purchased product contains the recalled peanut butter topping should contact the store where the product was purchased. The bulk peanut butter was used to make the following toppings: Sonic Brand Ready-To-Use Peanut Butter Topping in 6 lb. 10.5 oz cans. Sonic outlets used the topping until 2/16/07, when the product was recalled. The topping was used in the following Sonic products: - Peanut Butter Shake - Peanut Butter Fudge Shake - Peanut Butter Sundae - Peanut Butter Fudge Sundae Carvel Peanut Butter Topping in 6 lb. 10 oz. cans. Carvel used the topping until 2/16/07, when the product was recalled. The topping was used in the following Carvel ice cream products: - Chocolate Peanut Butter - Peanut Butter Treasure - Peanut Butter & Jelly - Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Sundae Dasher - Any other customized products containing the Peanut Butter Topping, including peanut butter flavored ice cream in ice cream cakes J. Hungerford Smith Peanut Butter Dessert Topping in 6 lb. 10 oz. cans: This topping may be used by retail and restaurant outlets throughout the United States but is not available for direct purchase by the public. Recall Status and More Information ConAgra informed the public that it is recalling all Peter Pan peanut butter and all Great Value peanut butter beginning with product code 2111. The company's recall extends to products made since December 2005. FDA's advice to consumers continues to be not to eat any Peter Pan peanut butter or any Great Value peanut butter beginning with the 2111 product code. http://www.fda.gov/bbs/topics/NEWS/2007/NEW01574.html

Milk Recall Expanded To Four States http://www.theday. com By Eileen McNamara Published on 3/30/2007 Old Saybrook, CT A milk recall announced after six young students became ill during their school lunch Wednesday has been expanded to include twice as many cases of milk in four states. The recall was broadened after state inspectors and officials at Guida's Milk & Ice Cream - New Britain, CT, which produced and distributed the tainted milk, discovered that a cleaning solvent called "Mandate Plus" was accidentally flushed into a batch of low-fat chocolate milk during a recent production cycle, state officials said Thursday. Some of that batch of contaminated milk ended up at the Kathleen E. Goodwin School, where six second-graders started feeling symptoms almost immediately after drinking the milk during lunch Wednesday. The solvent got into the low-fat chocolate milk after a worker at Guida's New Britain plant forgot to flush a line that had been cleaned with the solvent, state officials said. The lines are cleaned between each milk production run and then flushed of any solvent. Though school officials here initially reported that eight children were sickened after drinking the Guida's milk, that number was revised Thursday when health officials determined that two of the children suffered from a stomach bug. All of the children who reported symptoms after drinking milk were treated at a local health clinic Wednesday and released. Officials at the state Board of Education issued a warning to school districts across the state late Wednesday not to serve milk until investigators could determine the source of the contamination. Guida's on Thursday issued an apology to all of the children and their parents. The company also apologized to school officials. Local police, who had initiated an investigation, spent part of Thursday at the dairy company's plant interviewing workers and inspecting the milk bottling processes. Inspectors from the state Department of Agriculture also conducted inspections. Lt. Michael Spera said police are confident the contamination was an isolated accident and have closed their criminal investigation. Spera said the solvent was flushed into one of two production lines of chocolate milk that were running at the plant when the incident occurred. However, the recall was broadened Thursday to include both production lines as a safety precaution, Spera said. In all, Guida's has recalled 2,200 cases of the low-fat chocolate milk. Each case holds 50 half-pint containers. However, of those cases, 827 were still at the Guida's plant this week. The other 1,373 cases were distributed primarily to schools in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island and Massachusetts, state officials said. Mary Jane Engle, director of the Connecticut River Area Health District, said health officials alerted all nursing homes, day-care centers and senior centers of the recall. Some of those facilities, she said, sometimes purchase half-pint containers of milk for their clients. As of late Thursday, she said, health officials were unaware of any other incidents of anyone consuming the tainted milk or falling ill. Though school officials also reported finding a container of strawberry milk at the St. John School that was believed tainted, it was later determined that the milk had gone sour. However, leaders of the St. John School, a parochial school whose food service is provided by the public school district, were instructed to throw out several containers of Guida's milk that did not contain expiration dates or product code numbers, said School Superintendent Joseph Onofrio. The district is confident that the contamination incident was an anomaly and will continue to purchase milk from Guida's, Onofrio said. The district, however, will serve juice and water to students until Guida's produces a fresh batch of milk for distribution, Onofrio said. He said the new milk would likely arrive by Monday. e.mcnamara@theday. com

BEEF Recall Updated: 8:20 p.m. ET April 20, 2007 WASHINGTON - A Pennsylvania beef company is recalling about 259,230 pounds of beef products due to possible contamination with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Agriculture Department said on Friday. USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service and the Pennsylvania Department of Health have found several illnesses tied to steak products produced by HFX Inc. for Hoss’s Family Steak and Sea Restaurants, a chain based in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania Department of Health said in a statement the illnesses are believed to be the result of eating rare or medium-rare steak at the restaurants March 24-March 29. Four of five people have been hospitalized, but none has developed kidney failure. “Because the number of cases is small and the exposure period was several weeks ago, the health department believes the risk to Hoss’s customers is low,” the Pennsylvania Department of Health said. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacteria that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. Children, elderly and people with poor immune systems are the most susceptible. USDA said 4,884 pounds were produced on various dates between April 5, 2007, and April 19, 2007, and were distributed to retail stores in Pennsylvania. The rest of the meat, 254,346 pounds, was distributed to restaurants in Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. More information on the recall can be found on the USDA's Web site.

This isnt a recall yet--dont know where else to post it--but stories are coming out that the chemical used in microwave popcorn could be cause a lung condition in the workers who are exposed to it in factories. But how far from that do you start to consider the effects on those of us who eat a lot of it at home? LINK

1. Abbott Announces Voluntary Nationwide Recall of Three Lots of Two-Ounce Bottles of Similac Special Care 24 Cal / fl. oz. Ready-to-Feed (RTF) Premature Infant Formula with Iron 2. nSpired Natural Foods Issues Nationwide Recall of Maranatha Sesame Tahini Because of Possible Health Risk 3. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers not to buy or eat imported fish labeled as monkfish, which actually may be puffer fish, containing a potentially deadly toxin called tetrodotoxin 4. R.A.B. Food Group, LLC Issues a Nationwide Recall of Sparkling Grape Juices Product May Rupture As I've learned during the Pet Food thing, the FDA issues recalls all the time. Do we have an recall thread here that covers everything? We have the Pet Food one in Hairball Have and the Food one here. But a lot of non-food products get recalled as well (like contact lens solution, which I got an email about today). I'd be glad to post those updates if there's a thread for them

I think we SHOULD have a recall thread, devoted to ALL THINGS recalled! That bit about the monkfish is truly scary! And dammit! Yet another reason not to use ANY products that are imported from China. Unfortunately, we can't always tell, when we purchase items, where they are from. I always tick to locally grown produce and other foodstuffs!! (When I ate seafood, I usually ate only linecaught, local seafood, too.)

about that popcorn chemical. I saw a News story about it as so many workers were having problems. Evidently they have to wear full masks and stuff when working with this stuff....and then we EAT it! Thought I'd throw in my two cents as most packaged microwave popcorn makes me SICK! the inside of my mouth and lips will burn and peel. I tried a couple of kinds and then saw that blurb on the sick employees. How does that stuff become legalized for consumption? our government seems to have formed acceptable levels...of ALL toxins, even mercury and lead.

At the risk of sounding snarky... PEOPLE! There is a big difference between manufacturing and eating. What you end up eating MAY NOT BE AN ISSUE! Please be informed before you go all nonlinear. So far, it's only people working in manufacturing who have had problems. Please be informed before jumping to conclusions. And if you really don't want to risk the exposure, then don't. Personally, I don't like fake butter, so I never use the stuff. I have a microwave popper (Regal brand, maybe?) that air pops or pops with oil, in my microwave. If I want butter, I'll melt real butter and drizzle it myself. Truly, takes just as long to pop as a bag of the fake butter stuff. But... Please. be informed. And be informed about what's going on in your own country, too! From ABC News: quote:Experts believe when heated in a factory setting, diacetyl produces a toxic and potentially lethal gas. David Michaels, a former assistant secretary of energy, has been studying the issue for the last four years. "Workers who mix the chemical as a liquid or powder breathe in small amounts of this chemical and it just devastates their lungs," Michaels said.

Well maybe we can start a "Total Recall" thread to include all kinds of recalls. We don't have to call it that, of course. I wonder what the best location for it would be.

This is a good locatioin.. almost any recall of anything is connected to health in some way or another. I got a reply about Aquafresh toothpaste (we had a post in the hairball haven recal thread about some toothpastes having problems and at that time notghing had been confirmed or denied about my favorite brand, so I wrote to the company. Looks like I'm ok: Dear Ms. Duncan, We have received your e-mail on the Aquafresh website regarding the ingredients contained in our product. In response to your inquiry, all toothpaste sold by GlaxoSmithKline in the United States is manufactured in the United States, and each batch or lot of finished product is tested and certified to ensure it meets FDA requirements for safety and efficacy. None of the ingredients used in GlaxoSmithKline toothpastes are bought from companies in China. We appreciate your taking the time to contact us and for giving us the opportunity to address this important issue. Sincerely, Kathleen GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Case # 2560449

That works for me, Sea. Very funny that I come here and you've posted about the Aqua Fresh, as I just posted a comment to you about it in the morning update on the Pet Food Recall thread! Regarding the toothpaste issue: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) today warned consumers to avoid using tubes of toothpaste labeled as made in China, and issued an import alert to prevent toothpaste containing the poisonous chemical diethylene glycol (DEG) from entering the United States. And they finally release brands names: Cooldent Fluoride Cooldent Spearmint Cooldent ICE Dr. Cool Everfresh Toothpaste Superdent Toothpaste Clean Rite Toothpaste Oralmax Extreme Oral Bright Fresh Spearmint Flavor Bright Max Peppermint Flavor ShiR Fresh Mint Fluoride Paste DentaPro DentaKleen DentaKleen Junior Manufacturers of these products are: Goldcredit International Enterprises Limited; Goldcredit International Trading Company Limited; and Suzhou City Jinmao Daily Chemicals Company Limited. According to the release, the products typically are sold at low-cost, “bargain” retail outlets.

LINK This is another beef recall that was mentioned in the article in the tyson link that I just posted. It was for frozen ground beef that was packaged in April 2006. The article says it may still be in freezers. I would never keep grnd beef frozen that long! (or any other kind of frozen meat! yuck!) In fact, the Food Marketing Institute says keep frozen grnd. beef only 2-3 mos.

California Firm Expands Recall of Ground Beef for Possible E. coli O157:H7 Contamination Recall Release CLASS I RECALL FSIS-RC-025-2007 HEALTH RISK: HIGH LINK Congressional and Public Affairs (202) 720-9113 Steven Cohen WASHINGTON, June 9, 2007 - United Food Group, LLC, a Vernon, Calif., establishment, is voluntarily expanding its June 3 and 6 recalls to include a total of approximately 5.7 million pounds of both fresh and frozen ground beef products produced between April 6 and April 20 because they may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today. Preparing Ground Beef For Safe Consumption USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHOTLINE or visit www.fsis.usda.gov Although the product(s) being recalled should be returned to the point of purchase, consumers preparing other ground beef products should heed the following advice. Consumers should only eat ground beef patties that have been cooked to a safe temperature of 160 °F. When a ground beef patty is cooked to 160 °F throughout, it can be safe and juicy, regardless of color. The only way to be sure a ground beef patty is cooked to a high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria is to use an accurate food thermometer. Color is not a reliable indicator that ground beef patties have been cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria such as E. coli O157:H7. Eating a pink or red ground beef patty without first verifying that the safe temperature of 160 °F has been reached is a significant risk factor for foodborne illness. Thermometer use to ensure proper cooking temperature is especially important for those who cook or serve ground beef patties to people most at risk for foodborne illness because E. coli O157:H7 can lead to serious illness or even death. Those most at risk include young children, seniors, and those with compromised immune systems. The recall is being expanded out of an abundance of caution following a positive test of fresh ground beef subject to this recall provided by a patient in Arizona. This tested product was sold under a major grocery store label, as opposed to a pre-packaged chub shipped from the recalling firm. An investigation carried out by the California Department of Health Services and the Colorado Department of Health, in coordination with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, preceded the recall of June 3. Illnesses occurred in Arizona (6), California (3), Colorado (2), Idaho (1), Utah (1) and Wyoming (1). Illness onset dates ranged between April 25 and May 18. All patients have recovered. Based on product shelf life, fresh beef products produced on April 20 would no longer have been sold in grocery stores after May 11. Fresh beef produced before April 20 and would have been unavailable in stores even earlier. However, these products could be in consumers’ freezers and it is important that consumers look for and return these products if they find them. The fresh and frozen ground beef products subject to recall were produced between April 6 and April 20 and were shipped to retail stores in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming. E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause bloody diarrhea and dehydration. The very young, seniors and persons with compromised immune systems are the most susceptible to foodborne illness. Consumers with questions about the recall should contact company Customer Service Representative James Turner at (800) 325-4164. Media with questions about the recall should contact company Vice-President for Sales and Marketing Brian Levy at (323) 588-5286. In addition to specific products bearing labels from the manufacturer, some fresh ground beef, from 73 percent lean to 96 percent lean, was shipped in bulk and sold under different retail brand names. Several types of fresh ground beef patties, from 6.25 ounces to 7.25 ounces, were also shipped to retailers and sold under retail brand names. Consumers in the states of distribution should check with their local retailers to determine whether they may have purchased any of the products subject to recall that were marketed in this way. The labels of the products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST. 1241” inside the USDA mark of inspection or printed on the package. All of the products bear a use-by/sell-by date between “APR/15/07” and “May/07/07,” a freeze-by date between “APR/23/07” and “May/07/07,” or a production date between “APR/06/07” and “APR/20/07.” The frozen ground beef patty products bear a sell-by date between “08/06/07” and “01/20/08.” [View Labels, PDF Only] The following FRESH ground beef products are subject to recall: * 1.4- and 3-pound

Ground Beef Recall Initiated LINK Sherman, Texas – June 8, 2007 – Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc. is voluntarily recalling retail packages of ground beef produced at its plant in Sherman, Texas, company officials reported today. A sample analyzed by the company was found to contain E. coli O157:H7. To date, there have been no illnesses reported or associated with any packages of ground beef produced by the Sherman plant. However, the company is conducting the voluntary recall as a precautionary measure. This recall is not related to a recent ground beef recall initiated by a California based meat company. The action involves 40,440 pounds of ground beef, which is sold in pre-packaged trays that are placed directly into the meat case by the retailer. The product was produced on June 2. Each package bears the establishment code EST 244S as well as a “use or freeze by” code date of June 13, 2007. Specific products being recalled include: •1.5-pound trays of “ANGUS STEAK BURGER ALL NATURAL, 85/15, 6- 1/4 POUND PATTIES.” •1.33-pound trays of “ANGUS STEAK BURGER ALL NATURAL, 85/15, EXTRA THICK, 4- 1/3 POUND PATTIES.” •2.25-pound trays of “73/27 ALL NATURAL GROUND BEEF, CARNE MOLIDA DE RES.” •5.5-pound trays of “73/27 ALL NATURAL GROUND BEEF, CARNE MOLIDA DE RES.” Only one retail customer received the ground beef. This customer, Wal-Mart, Inc., has been contacted, has removed the product from sale and is destroying all of the recalled ground beef still in its possession at its distribution centers and stores. The affected product was distributed to Wal-Mart stores in 12 states, including Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. Consumers are reminded that thorough cooking kills harmful bacteria, including E. coli O157:H7. Consumers should only eat ground beef that has been cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 160° F. Customers with questions may call Tyson at 1-800-233-6332 or Wal-Mart at 1-800-WalMart (1-800-925-6278).

Counterfeit Colgate Toothpaste Found FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- New York, New York -- June 14, 2007 -- The Colgate–Palmolive Company today warned that counterfeit toothpaste falsely packaged as "Colgate" has been found in several dollar-type discount stores in four states: New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. There are indications that this product does not contain fluoride and may contain Diethylene Glycol. The Company stated that it does not use, nor has ever used, Diethylene Glycol as an ingredient in Colgate toothpaste anywhere in the world. The counterfeit toothpaste can be easily recognized because it is labelled as "Manufactured in South Africa." Colgate does not import toothpaste into the United States from South Africa. In addition, the counterfeit packages examined so far have several misspellings including: "isclinically" "SOUTH AFRLCA" "South African Dental Assoxiation". Counterfeit toothpaste is not manufactured or distributed by Colgate and has no connection with the Company whatsoever. Colgate is working closely with the US FDA to help to identify those responsible for the counterfeit product. Consumers who suspect they may have purchased counterfeit product, can call Colgate’s toll-free number at 1 800 468 6502. Counterfeit TOOTHPASTE? Is nothing sacred? And darn it all to heck, Colgate is MY brand! 'Course, I didn't buy mine at a dollar store...or in either of those states. But, I WILL be checking mine when I get home!
