January 14, 2010: Oregon Company Recalls Roasted Hazelnuts

PEO Chapter FO of Ashland, Oregon is recalling 75 - 1 lb packages of roasted hazelnuts, because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. 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 (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.

The roasted hazelnuts were distributed through two beauty salons: Victoria’s and Strand’s both located in Ashland, Oregon.

The roasted Hazelnuts were packaged in 1 lb. plastic bags and labeled “Hazelnuts, Roasted $7.00″. No other codes, expiration date, or UPC is found on the package.

This recall was the result of a routine sampling of product by the FDA at the company who processes the hazelnuts for our supplier. The company has ceased the production and distribution of the product as FDA and the company continues their investigation as to what caused the problem.

December 4, 2009: Ground Beef Recall Made by Beef Packers, Inc.

The following announcement has been posted on the USDA’s FSIS website.

Beef Packers, Inc., a Fresno, Calif. establishment, is recalling approximately 22,723 pounds of ground beef products that may be linked to an outbreak of salmonellosis, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The products subject to recall include:

60 pound cases of “GRD Beef Fine 93/07 10/60.” Each case bears the identifying case code W69363 with Use/Freeze by dates of 10/11/09.  A retail distribution list can be seen here.

The ground beef products were produced on September 23, 2009 and bear the establishment number “EST. 31913″ printed on the case code labels. The ground beef products were distributed to a retail distribution center in Arizona. Because these products were repackaged into consumer-size packages and sold under different retail brand names, consumers should check with their local retailer to determine whether they may have purchased any of the products subject to recall.

As a result of an ongoing investigation into illnesses from Salmonella Newport associated with ground beef products, the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) notified FSIS of the situation. Epidemiological and traceback investigations conducted by FSIS and ADHS determined that there is an association between the fresh ground beef products and two (2) illnesses reported in Arizona. The Salmonella Newport strain was isolated both from the patients and from ground beef produced by Est. 31913. They were also linked by their uncommon pulse-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) pattern found in PulseNet, a national network of public health and food regulatory agency laboratories coordinated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
