Butterball, LLC

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13, 2021 - Butterball, LLC, a Mount Olive, N.C. establishment, is recalling approximately 14,107 pounds of ground turkey products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically blue plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The ground turkey items were produced on September 28, 2021. The following products are subject to recall:

The problem was discovered when FSIS and the establishment received consumer complaints reporting pieces of blue plastic embedded in raw ground turkey produced by Est. 7345.

Nick's Famous Bar-B-Q Recalls Ready-To-Eat Pork Products Due to Possible Listeria Contamination
I-65 BBQ, Inc.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 8, 2021 - Nick's Famous Bar-B-Q, a Nashville, Tenn., establishment, is recalling approximately 3,140 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked pork barbecue products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The frozen RTE hickory smoked pork barbecue products were produced on September 7, 2021 and September 8, 2021 and packaged on September 8, 2021. The following products are subject to recall:

20-lb. boxes of "Nick's FAMOUS Hickory Smoked Pork Bar-B-Q" with a case code of 23452 and a use by date of 09/2022.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number "EST. 17863" inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were distributed to institutions, including school locations in North Carolina. While the product was distributed to schools, it resulted from a commercial sale and was not part of food provided by the USDA for the National School Lunch Program.

The problem was discovered by FSIS during an assessment of the establishment's production records.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

Consumption of food contaminated with L. monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women and their newborns. Less commonly, persons outside these risk groups are affected.

Listeriosis can cause fever, muscle aches, headache, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions sometimes preceded by diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms. An invasive infection spreads beyond the gastrointestinal tract. In pregnant women, the infection can cause miscarriages, stillbirths, premature delivery or life-threatening infection of the newborn. In addition, serious and sometimes fatal infections in older adults and persons with weakened immune systems. Listeriosis is treated with antibiotics. Persons in the higher-risk categories who experience flu-like symptoms within two months after eating contaminated food should seek medical care and tell the health care provider about eating the contaminated food.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in institutions' freezers. 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.

Media and consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact Patrick Lewis, co-owner of Nick's Famous Bar-B-Q, at patrick.lewis@nicksfamousbarbq.com or Rich Dupont, co-owner of Nick's Famous Bar-B-Q at rich.dupont@nicksfamousbarbq.com.

Consumers with food safety questions can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or live chat via Ask USDA from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday.

Northeast Seafood Products Recalls Seafood Products Because of Possible Health Risk
Company Announcement Date:October 08, 2021
FDA Publish Date:October 08, 2021
Product Type: Food & Beverages
Reason for Announcement: Potential for Salmonella
Company Name:Northeast Seafood Products
Brand Name: Northeast Seafood Products
Product Description: Raw, fresh seafood

Company Announcement
Northeast Seafood Products, Denver, CO, is voluntarily recalling certain types of seafood that were processed at our facility because they have the potential of being 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 sever illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

The items being recalled are: Haddock, Monkfish, Bone-in Trout, Grouper, Red Snapper, Red Rock Cod, Ocean Perch, Pacific Cod, Halibut, Coho Salmon, Atlantic Salmon Portions, Lane Snapper, Tilapia, All Natural Salmon Fillet, Pacific Sole, and Farm Raised Striped Bass.

These items were distributed from May 2021 to October 7, 2021 to restaurants and Albertsons, Safeway, and Sprouts supermarkets in Colorado. The recalled items would have sold out of their fresh seafood cases. The Pacific Cod sold through Sprouts is not being recalled.

The recall is the result of several positive samples revealed during an FDA.
inspection. FDA and CDC have informed us that these positive samples are linked to an outbreak of Salmonella illness. The production area of our facility has been temporarily shut down until such time as the FDA and the company determine that the problem has been corrected.

Consumers who have purchased raw, fresh, unpackaged seafood are urged to return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Consumers with questions may call Northeast Seafood directly at 303-373-2226. Monday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. mountain time.

On The Level
Must be some Chinese spice mix they were using. Or who knows, we've got so many people and nations that hate us. But I'm imagining they were fudging the weight of the spice with lead powder.

ETA: I didn't know canned roast beef and gravy was a thing. Anyone here eat it, how is it?

I have several cans of the Clover Valley Beef with Gravy. The things printed on both top and bottom of the cans have nothing anywhere close to the dates/numbers posted as best-by or EST information posted in a thread here yesterday. There's just a bunch of coded goobledegook and I haven't a clue how to translate it.

We have Keystone Meats. Right now I have a case of beef and a case of burger. They're a "small" company in Lima, Ohio. The products are pretty good and the ingredients on the beef can lists beef and salt. That's it. Naturally, they have no stock right now. They are a family run business. I'm a sucker for success stories.

Anyhow, it seems really coincidental that all these massive recalls are going on at the same time. Thing is, I don't believe in coincidence all that much.

Beginning this year, when we kill a beef rather than freeze it my wife cans it at home. Chicken too. Honestly I think it has a much better flavor than frozen. Had tacos last night made with canned hamburger. Sounds strange I know but it is fantastic.
Now, if I could only get used to Salmon patties Friday's would be a lot more fun.

How much lead could be introduced by this method?

More than biting a split-shot closed on your fishing line or biting a shotgun pellet in a duck?

Is it raw lead or some oxide?

It's great to put into veggie beef soup. That's all I've used it for, but I bet it'd be OK with mashed potatoes.

I've got the Armour in my pantry, but the BB date is 11/13/21. I guess it's safe then? Already ate most of the cans I bought.

You're right on the button! There are no shortages except for what they tell us. They want us off of meat products, especially beef. Next will be chicken, then pork, and on down the line.

Yep. Another example of one factory making the same product and distributing it under several labels. I had an uncle who worked at a creamery in Michigan for decades until he retired. He used to tell about the yogurt and sour cream lines running the same product under different labels without even shutting the line down. They would just switch containers in a couple seconds for a different brand and keep on running. He always laughed about how people would prefer a certain brand over another when it was exactly the same stuff.

Apparently, the OP recall was due to a spice mix.

I want to know what kind of mix and who makes/provides it. Do they also sell smaller retail quantities? I would like to be able to stay away from their spices/mixes/gravies in future.

I recently bought some, both Great value and another brand from Wal Mart. Very little meat and a lot of liquid, not gravy, but could have made gravy out of it. I used it to flavor a large pot of vegetable soup. I don't think it is good value.

I do know that I found mine at a great price (a reasonable price, that is) and everywhere else I've seen it, it's sky-high. I have been amazed, even before the latest fiasco, at the high prices of certain canned items.

There s nothing cheap any more. Back in the dark ages, when my children were small there was always cheap food available. We ate pork neck bones and chicken backs, made good stews and soups. Chicken backs cooked with is really good. Gizzards and rice also good. Cheap beans and potatoes. Cracklings for cornbread was about 10 cents a pound, the last i saw was over $ 8.00. It would terrify me to have to feed children today, there is no longer any cheap food for poor folks.

We have few cans of Keystone in the pantry, beef, pork & chicken. We have found their products to be a good value.

Thankfully theirs is not on the list. May buy more.
