I love living in a country where every three days the FDA or the CDC has to announce which foods will kill us this week and which ones won’t.
This is a possible listeria outbreak, it’s no joke.
Please check the food in your fridge.
Well, this is a “fun” one.
McCain Foods is a multinational food producer based in Canada with 11 plants in the United States. They’re evidently a big distributor of produce to ready-to-eat food producers in the US – hence why this recall is affecting ready-to-eat products sold in American supermarkets. The FDA report for this recall is available online and it’s pretty awful: the reason for recall states, “During an internal audit at the manufacturing location, it was discovered that finished product had been released on numerous occasions after receiving presumptive positive test results for Listeria monocytogenes and Salmonella; confirmation was not conducted.” The code information states this applies to “[a]ll products shipped on or after January 1, 2016”. I don’t have more data than this yet, but this seems to indicate that a McCain plants in America has been ignoring the results of tests for pathogens for nearly three years.
