These products are not sold directly to consumers, but are used as ingredients in a number of foods uch as bakery products and distributed by brokers. None of the recalled finished product tested positive for Salmonella but environmental sampling performed by the FDA was positive for Salmonella. Valley Milk is currently investigating the cause for the positive environmental samples.
Below are some pertinent facts and references to aid food manufacturers in determining the disposition of their affected products.
For companies that used the Valley Milk recalled milk powder or buttermilk powder in a consumer ready-to-eat product and there is no FDA-recognized kill step or inactivation step in their processing system, their supplier should be immediately notified with such details as the product which contained the recalled Valley Milk powder products, the amounts of the products, whether these products are in storage or have already been distributed, where the distributed products are and records or other evidence that the recalled Valley Milk powder was used. Their supplier will in-turn notify Valley Milk.
The FDA is available to help companies review their specific processes and determine if additional action is warranted.
All customers that have received these products have been notified by Valley Milk and instructed to return the suspect powder or document the destruction of the powder, after contacting Valley Milk for specific instructions. In case someone identifies Valley Milk powders with the above lot numbers in their dry storage warehouse and has not been ontacted by a Valley Milk representative, please contact Michael Curtis at 301-512-5053 or mcurtis@mdvamilk.com immediately for instructions.
At Valley Milk Products, we are dedicated to producing dairy products that meet the highest quality and safety standards required by our customers as well as complying with all government food safety requirements. Valley Milk Products has a long history of producing these products from our own dairy farmers in the historic Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.

Salmonella is a bacterium that can cause diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps and most individuals recover without treatment. In some cases, diarrhea may be so severe that the patient needs to be hospitalized. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are more likely to have a severe illness.

Update on #expanded #foodsafety #recall due to #undercooked ready-to-eat chicken products

FSIS Issues Public Health Alert For Possibly Undercooked Ready-To-Eat Chicken Products That Have Been Incorporated Into Other Food Products

Congressional and Public Affairs
Gabrielle N. Johnston 
(202) 720-9113
Press@fsis.usda.gov
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9, 2016 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is alerting consumers that recalled ready-to-eat (RTE) chicken products produced by National Steak and Poultry, a Owasso, Okla. Establishment P-6010T, have been used or incorporated into other FSIS-regulated products. FSIS does not have confidence in the safety of any subsequently produced products that have used or incorporated the chicken products that were previously recalled by National Steak and Poultry on Nov. 23, 2016, with an expanded recall occurring on Dec. 4, 2016.
National Steak and Poultry originally recalled various chicken products due to possible undercooking. A complete list of these products can be viewed here. Proper cooking of poultry products is essential to eliminate pathogens, such as Salmonella, which are commonly associated with raw poultry products. FSIS became aware that these recalled chicken products were used as an ingredient in other FSIS-regulated products. This occurred prior to National Steak and Poultry identifying that the chicken products may have been undercooked. The Agency is concerned with the safety of any secondary products that used the recalled chicken products. For safety reasons, consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
Ajinomoto Windsor, Inc., a Portland, Ore. establishment; Aryzta LLC a Romeoville, Ill. establishment; Nation Pizza Products Limited a Schaumburg, Ill. establishment; and Southwest Products LLC, a San Diego, Calif. establishment, all used or incorporated the recalled chicken products produced by National Steak and Poultry as an ingredient in their own FSIS-regulated products. These establishments were not aware that the recalled poultry may have been undercooked at the time that the recalled poultry was further processed into products for sale to consumers by them. A current list of brands and associated products subject to this Public Health Alert can be found below, and a complete list of products and information can be found here. FSIS will update this list as more information becomes available. [View Labels (PDF Only)]
  • Ajinomoto brand “Yakitori Chicken with Japanese-Style Fried Rice”
  • Archer Farms brand pizza products containing chicken
  • Ferratto’s brand chicken pizza product
  • Best Choice brand chicken pizza product
  • Nuevo Grille brand chicken quesadilla product
  • Schwan’s brand chicken quesadilla product
The products subject to this Public Health Alert bear establishment numbers “P-18356”, “P-2539B”, “P-1682A”, and “P-17417” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to warehouses, distributors, and retail locations Nationwide.
In light of the large volume of product impacted by the recall and the fact that many products affected by the recall now bear different establishment numbers than identified on the original and expanded recall, FSIS is issuing this Public Health Alert so that consumers are aware that the recalled undercooked chicken products by National Steak and Poultry were used as an ingredient in products produced by other FSIS establishments. FSIS will be conducting effectiveness checks to confirm that these products have been removed from commerce.
The original problem with National Steak and Poultry’s various RTE chicken products was discovered on Nov. 14, 2016, when a food service customer complained to the establishment that product appeared to be undercooked.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS advises all consumers to safely prepare their raw meat products, including fresh and frozen, and only consume product that has been cooked to the proper temperature and follow cooking instructions provided on the product label. The only way to confirm that product name 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.

This recall is being made with the knowledge of the US Food and Drug Administration.
What to do
Consumers who have purchased the above lots of beef for dogs or kitten grind are urged to stop feeding them and return products to the place of purchase for a full refund. Or dispose of them immediately. Those with questions can email the company at blueridgebeefga@yahoo.com.
