WASHINGTON, Dec. 31, 2015 – Du Monde Gourmet, a Park City, UT establishment, is recalling approximately 235 pounds of ready-to-eat pocket sandwich products, which may have experienced temperature deviation and may contain Clostridium perfringens, Bacillus cereus,and/or Clostridium botulinum, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The Jafflz Retro Pocket Sandwiches were produced on Dec. 17, 2015. The following products are subject to recall: [View Labels (PDF Only)]
77-lbs. 24 count cases containing 4-6 pieces of “JAFFLZ RETRO POCKET SANDWICHES PASGHETTI JAFFLES WITH SPAGHETTI ITALIAN MEAT SAUCE.”35-lbs. 24 count cases containing 4-6 pieces of “JAFFLZ RETRO POCKET SANDWICHES CLASSIC JAFFLES WITH BACON, EGG, AND CHEESE.”40-lbs. 24 count cases containing 4-6 pieces of “JAFFLZ RETRO POCKET SANDWICHES FRITTATTA JAFFLE WITH MEDDITTERANNEAN ITALIAN SAUSAGE SCRAMBLE.”83-lbs. 24 count cases containing 4-6 pieces of “JAFFLZ RETRO POCKET SANDWICHES BBQ JOE JAFFLE WITH BEEFY SLOPPY JOE CHEESE.”
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 48106” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations in Utah.
The problem was discovered by the establishment during an internal records review which showed the product had an undocumented cooling process without HACCP records to show that the product was chilled from 80° to 40°F in a timely manner.
Clostridium perfringens is a type of bacteria that can be found in a variety of foods, particularly meats, meat products, and gravy. Emetic toxins produced byClostridium perfringens bacteria are characterized by intense abdominal cramps and diarrhea which begin 8-22 hours after consumption of foods containing large numbers of those Clostridium perfringens bacteria capable of producing the toxin. The illness is usually over within 24 hours but less severe symptoms may persist in some individuals for 1 or 2 weeks.
Bacillus cereus is a type of bacteria that can be found in a variety of foods that has been stored too long at room temperature. Emetic toxins produced by Bacillus cereus are characterized by nausea and vomiting occurring within 30 minutes to six hours after consumption of contaminated foods.
Clostridium botulinum is a type of bacteria found in improperly canned foods, garlic in oil, vacuum-packed and tightly wrapped food. These bacteria produce a nerve toxin that causes illness, affecting the nervous system. Toxin affects the nervous system. Symptoms usually appear 18 to 36 hours, but can sometimes appear as few as 6 hours or as many as 10 days after eating; double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. If untreated, these symptoms may progress causing muscle paralysis and even death.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
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.

New #foodsafety #recall possible #salmonella contamination of bulk packed #cucumbers
Thomas Produce Recalls Cucumbers because of Possible Health Risk
Consumers: Richard Wilson
1-561-482-1111
Thomas Produce Company of Boca Raton, FL is recalling 174 bulk-packed containers of Cucumbers. This product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, 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 may experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.
This product was sold to distributors in Florida and Georgia between 12/15/2015 and 12/16/2015. All distributors that received this product have been notified as of the time of this press release.
The fresh, whole, green Cucumbers were sold in 166 cardboard bushel boxes (1 1/9 bushel size) with one of the following lot numbers ink-jet printed on the side: 1554311JDNK, 1554311HDNK, and 15143115DNK. These cucumbers were also distributed in 8 bulk cardboard bins(4'x4' size) tagged with codes 15NKJD-1554311-D, 15NKHD-1554311-D, and 15NK5D-1514311-D.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall.
This recall notice is being issued due to an isolated instance in which a sample of Thomas Produce Cucumbers yielded a positive result for Salmonella in a random sample test conducted by the FDA. Out of an abundance of caution, the company has elected to recall all lots of cucumbers that were packed on the same day. The company has ceased production and distribution of the affected lots of cucumbers as the FDA and the company continue their investigation.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged to not consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the original place of purchase. Consumers with questions may contact Richard Wilson, Compliance Director, of Thomas Produce Company at 1-561-482-1111 Monday through Friday between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EST.

New #urgent #dietary #supplement #recall due to #undeclared #sibutramine & #phenolphthalein
Urgent: Drug Recall - Weight Loss Dietary Supplements with Undeclared Sibutramine and Phenolphthalein
Consumers: Toni Sweeney
beextremellc@gmail.com
814-771-4377
Under the brands: La' Trim Plus, Jenesis and Oasis, all lots and expiration dates.
Recent Analysis by the Food and Drug Administration has found undeclared Sibutramine and Phenolphthalein in the Dietary Supplement "La'Trim Plus", "Oasis", and "Jenesis". As a Seller of these products, my customer's health is my first priority, therefore BeeXtreme LLC is recalling all lots of La' Trim Plus, Jenesis and Oasis products from the market.
Sibutramine and Phenolphthalein pose a significant health hazard. Sibutramine is an appetite suppressant that was withdrawn from the U.S. market in October 2010. It is known to substantially increase blood pressure and/or pulse rate in some patients and may present a significant risk for patients with a history of coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, arrhythmias or stroke. Phenolphthalein is an ingredient previously used in over-the-counter laxatives, but because of concerns of carcinogenicity, it is not currently approved for marketing in the United States. Health risks associated with phenolphthalein could include potentially serious, gastrointestinal disturbances, irregular heartbeat, and cancer with long-term use.
Please determine if you have any of the above products on hand. If so, please discontinue selling the products and do not consume them. Please promptly dispose of all identified products.
If you have further distributed La' Trim, Jenesis and/or Oasis, please contact your customers if possible and advise them of the recall situation. Provide them with a copy of this notice. Have them return their outstanding recalled stocks to you. If you have any questions regarding this recall please contact me at beextremellc@gmail.com or 814-771-4377.

New #petfood #recall possible #Listeria contamination of Stella & Chewy's Frozen Dinner Morsel
Stella & Chewy's Voluntarily Recalls Frozen Dinner Morsel Products Due to Possible Health Risk
Customer Service
info@stellaandchewys.com
888.477.8977
Stella & Chewy's is voluntarily recalling four of its products sold in the U.S. and Canada due to concerns of a possible presence of Listeria monocytogenes. The recall affects a total of 990 cases (964 cases in the U.S and 26 cases in Canada). The recall was prompted by a positive test confirming Listeria monocytogenes in Stella's Super Beef Dinner Morsels for Dogs 8.5 oz. frozen bags, lot #165-15, "Use by 6-25-2016", during routine surveillance testing by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Listeria is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
As a precautionary measure, Stella & Chewy's is voluntarily recalling all products from Lot # 165-15, which includes:

New #foodsafety #recall undeclared #egg #allergen in Tonkotsu Ramen
Sun Noodle- New Jersey- Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Egg in Tonkotsu Ramen
Consumers: Pamela Ritz 1-844-201-1040
Sun Noodle of Teterboro, NJ is voluntarily recalling its Tonkotsu Ramen because it may contain undeclared egg. Individuals who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to egg run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume this product.
The Tonkotsu Ramen product was primarily sent to Asian food distributors in the New Jersey, Georgia, Illinois and New York areas, and then on to retail stores. The product is packaged in a clear plastic clamshell, banded with a Sun Noodle Tonkotsu Ramen label, with yellow font. These products contain a 2 pack red and white colored soup base package on the bottom. The net weight of the product is 12oz, with a UPC code of 0 85315 40003 5. The products that are affected by the recall are labeled with lot codes that range from 3114350 through 3215336. The lot code can be found typically towards the bottom of the individual noodle package.
No illnesses have been reported to date, and all affected product has been isolated from distribution.
The error was discovered during a routine product review. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the egg-containing product was distributed in packaging that did not reveal the presence of egg on the label. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by a mis-labeling of the product.
Only one product- Tonkotsu Ramen- manufactured at the Sun Noodle New Jersey facility was affected. All other products manufactured at other Sun Noodle locations are properly labeled and the Tonkotsu Ramen product is not made with any egg or egg white powder.
The specific lot codes affected are as follows:

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration along with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local officials are investigating an outbreak of E. coli infections.
Update: December 4, 2015
Three additional states have reported people infected with the outbreak strain of Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli O26 (STEC O26) since the last update, Illinois, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.Fifty-two people infected with the outbreak strain of STEC O26 have now been reported from a total of nine states: California (3), Illinois (1), Maryland (1), Minnesota (2), New York (1), Ohio (3), Oregon (13), Pennsylvania (1), and Washington (27).The epidemiologic evidence available at this time suggests that a common meal item or ingredient served at Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants in several states is a likely source of this outbreak.The investigation is still ongoing to determine what specific food is linked to illness.
What is the Problem and What is Being Done About It?
The FDA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) along with state and local officials are investigating an outbreak ofE. coli O26 infections that have been linked to food served at Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants in several states.
As of December 4, 2015, the CDC reports a total of 52 people infected with the outbreak strain of STEC O26 from a total of nine states: California (3), Illinois (1), Maryland (1), Minnesota (2), New York (1), Ohio (3), Oregon (13), Pennsylvania (1), and Washington (27). There have been 20 reported hospitalizations. There have been no reports of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and no deaths. Of the three most recent illnesses reported in November, only one ill person, whose illness started on November 10, reported eating at Chipotle Mexican Grill in the week before their illness began.
Investigators are also using whole genome sequencing, an advanced laboratory technique, to get more information about the DNA fingerprint of the STEC O26 bacteria causing illness. To date, whole genome sequencing has been performed on STEC O26 isolates from 21 ill people from California (2), Minnesota (2), New York (1), and Washington (16). All 21 isolates were highly related genetically to one another. This provides additional evidence that illnesses outside the Pacific Northwest, could be related to the illnesses in Washington .
Chipotle Mexican Grill has reopened all of its restaurants in Washington and Oregon that had been closed in response to the investigation. Chipotle Mexican Grill worked in close consultation and collaboration with health officials throughout the investigation to determine whether it was appropriate to reopen these restaurants. Chipotle reports taking the following actions, among others, prior to opening:
Confirming that all microbial testing performed by the company did not yield E. coli (more than 2,500 tests of Chipotle's food, restaurant surfaces, and equipment all showed no E. coli)Confirming that no employees in these restaurants were sickened from this incidentExpanded testing of fresh produce, raw meat, and dairy items prior to restocking restaurantsImplementing additional safety procedures, and audits, in all of its 2,000 restaurants to ensure that robust food safety standards are in placeWorking closely with federal, state, and local government agencies to ensure that robust food safety standards are in placeReplacing all ingredients in the closed restaurantsConducted additional deep cleaning and sanitization in all of its closed restaurants (will conduct deep cleaning and sanitization additionally in all restaurants nationwide)
The FDA continues to work with Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants as well as federal, state and local agencies to gather information about the supply chain(s). The FDA will continue to provide updates on the investigation as they become available.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3, 2015 – K. Heeps, Inc., an Allentown, Pa. establishment, is recalling approximately 152,010 pounds of roast beef products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The products may contain milk and wheat, known allergens which are not declared on the product label.
The frozen, pureed roast beef items were produced on various dates between Dec. 18, 2014, and Nov. 20, 2015. The following products are subject to recall:
4.5-lb. boxes containing 24, 3-ounce trays of “CafePuree MEAT VARIETY PACK”
4.5-lb. boxes containing 24, 3-ounce trays of “CafePuree SAVORY ROAST BEEF”
4.5-lb. boxes containing 24, 3-ounce trays of “SYSCO IMPERIAL MEAT VARIETY PACK”
4.5-lb. boxes containing 24, 3-ounce trays of “SYSCO SAVORY ROAST BEEF.”
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 9379” or “EST. 9379A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributors in Pennsylvania and exported to Canada for institutional use.
The problem was discovered by FSIS personnel during in-plant verification activities. A vegetable flavoring used in the products may contain the allergens.

New #foodsafety #recall possible #salmonella contamination of JEM Nut Butter Spread
JEM Raw Chocolate LLC Voluntarily Recalls Nut Butter Spread Products Due To Possible Health Risk
Consumers: JEM Raw Chocolate, LLC
(541) 728-3844
JEM Raw Chocolate, LLC (JEM Raw) of Bend, Oregon announced a voluntary recall of its full line of all nut butter spreads within expiry because it has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, 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.
Health authorities, including the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA), Center for Disease Control (CDC) have linked the illnesses to person(s) who have consumed nut spreads, including JEM Raw products. There have been eleven (11) illnesses reported but no deaths or hospitalizations to date.
In light of this investigation, and with an abundance of caution, JEM Raw has initiated a voluntary recall of all products and sizes, packaged in glass jars, and sold under brand name JEM Raw Organics.
The following products are recalled:

Additional details can be found atwww.jemraw.com. Those with questions may contact JEM Raw Chocolate, LLC at (541) 728-3844 between 9am 4pm PST, Monday through Friday.
Jen Moore, co-founder and CEO, said, “We are taking these steps because consumer safety is our top priority. As a health food company, our customer’s health is our number one priority.

New #drug #recall of OmniPod insulin management system due to needle malfunction
Insulet Corporation Issues Field Safety Notification of OmniPod Insulin Management System
Consumers: Insulet Customer Care
1-855-407-3729
On November 2, 2015, Insulet Corporation (Insulet or the Company) initiated a lot-specific voluntary Field Safety Notification (Notification) for 15 lots of the OmniPod (Pod) which were distributed in the U.S. and three lots which were distributed internationally.
Insulet has notified its distributors and customers by email, FedEx, and phone calls beginning on November 2, 2015, as well as all applicable regulatory agencies, including U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Consumers with questions may contact Insulet Customer Care via telephone at 1-855-407-3729 at any time.
This Notification is due to a slight increase in the reported cases in which the Pod’s needle mechanism failed to deploy or there was a delay in the deployment of the needle mechanism. The reported incidence of this product issue in the affected lots is approximately 1%-2%. Once this issue was recognized, the Company corrected the manufacturing process and implemented additional inspection steps.
This Notification does not affect the OmniPod Personal Diabetes Manager (PDM).
In the event a needle mechanism fails to deploy, the needle will not be inserted and insulin delivery will not begin. The interruption of insulin delivery may cause elevated blood glucose (hyperglycemia), which, if left untreated, can result in diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). If a patient has activated a Pod and experiences unexpected elevated blood glucose levels, a healthcare professional should be consulted.
The affected Pod lots have resulted in 66 Medical Device Reports, of which three required medical intervention. No serious injuries or deaths have been reported in patients using OmniPod devices from the affected lots.
Consumers who have Pods from the affected lots should ensure the needle mechanism has deployed properly, and may contact Insulet Customer Care via telephone at 1-855-407-3729 at any time.
OmniPods from the affected lots listed below were distributed to customers in September 2015:

Bestmed, LLC Issues Nationwide Recall Of Digital Temple Thermometer (DTT™), Model No. KD-2201 Manufactured By K-Jump Health Co., Ltd.
Consumers: Bestmed

(877) 299-6700

On November 12, 2015, Bestmed, LLC, a medical device distributor, initiated a nationwide recall of the Digital Temple Thermometer Model No. KD-2201 manufactured by K-Jump Health Co., Ltd, featuring lot numbers S/N: 3612 through S/N: 3715, which were sold between October 2012 until the start of the recall in November 2015.
Some Digital Temple Thermometers contain a manufacturing problem causing the affected thermometers to display temperatures that are inaccurate and lower than actual body temperatures, which potentially may cause the user or caregiver of the user to delay or forego seeking appropriate care (generally an over-the-counter fever reduction medication) or receive more care than appropriate, when relying solely on the temperature display on the thermometer.
Consumers who have a Digital Temple Thermometer should immediately stop using the device. Consumers may return the thermometer to Bestmed for a replacement thermometer.
The following model number(s) have been recalled:
KD-2201
(Note: Model KD-2201L is not subject to this recall action)
The Digital Temple Thermometer is a hand-held thermometer and can be identified by the DTT™ logo on the face, as shown below:
The back of the thermometer has a label with the KD-2201 designation as shown below. The slash-mark (/) is not part of the model number. The lot number may be found on the bottom of the back label, immediately after the designation “S/N:”. In the picture below, the lot number is S/N: 3113.
Bestmed voluntarily initiated the recall after becoming aware of the inaccurate temperature readings by the Digital Temple Thermometer, and confirming the source of the performance problem with the manufacturer, K-Jump Health Co., Ltd.
The Digital Temple Thermometer was distributed throughout the United States for direct sale and resale through consumer retail stores, and through consumer retail stores in Canada under the following packaging labels:
Bestmed
Good Neighbor
Kroger
Medline
Meijer
Premier Value
Safeway
Life Brand
Target
Top Care
Best Choice (Value Merchandise)
Western Family
