CRF Frozen Foods 844.551.5595
CRF Frozen

items that have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes,
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.

precaution. The Listeria was discovered through routine testing by state health
officials in Ohio. Listeria monocytogenes was found to be present in one lot of

New #foodsafety #recall possible #ecoli contamination of 325 pounds of beef products from Meating Place

Meating
Place Recalls Beef Product Due to Possible E. Coli O157:H7 Contamination
Class I
Recall 031-2016
Health Risk:
High
Congressional
and Public Affairs

WASHINGTON,
April 21, 2016 – Meating Place, a Buffalo, N.Y., establishment, is recalling
approximately 325 pounds of ground beef product that may be contaminated with
E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The ground
beef patties were produced on April 15, 2016. The following product is subject
to recall: [View Label (PDF Only)]
5-lb. boxes
of “LORINGO BRAND BEEF PATTIES KEEP FROZEN THE MEATING PLACE INC.” with a
package code of 120106.
The product
subject to recall bears establishment number “Est. 8631” inside the USDA mark
of inspection. The item was shipped to retail and intuitional locations in the
Buffalo, NY area.
The problem
was discovered by FSIS during routine in-plant review of testing results. There
have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this
product.
E. coli
O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody
diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure to
the organism. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of
kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This condition can occur
among persons of any age, but is most common in children under 5-years old and
older adults. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine
output. Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical
care immediately.
FSIS and the
company are concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’
freezers.
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.
FSIS advises
all consumers to safely prepare their raw meat products, including fresh and
frozen, and only consume ground beef that has been cooked to a temperature of
160° F. The only way to confirm that ground beef is cooked to a temperature
high enough to kill harmful bacteria is to use a food thermometer that measures
internal temperature, http://1.usa.gov/1cDxcDQ.

Media and
consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact Vincent Loringo,
President, at (716) 885-3623.
