Food Safety recall round-up 3-9 October
Listeria discovered in roasted red skin potatoes
8 October - USA: Buddy’s Kitchen is recalling 62,488 pounds of meat and poultry products due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes.
The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA-FSIS) said the food was produced on dates from July 16 through September 25 and shipped to distributors, retail locations, and airlines nationwide.
The problem was discovered when an FSIS product sample confirmed positive for Listeria monocytogenes (Lm).
The tested product was held, and the recalling firm tested raw materials from the product and found that the roasted red skin potatoes, which were provided by an independent supplier, tested positive for the pathogen.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of illnesses with the affected products which can be seen here.
