Food recalls

[chromedome]

There's a recall on several sandwiches sold at Circle K/Couche Tard, for listeria. They're only *known* to have been sold in Quebec (and frankly, I suspect gas-station sandwiches aren't especially a weakness for most of us) but may have been distributed elsewhere.

But will anyone go to jail for this disgraceful and criminal (well, in my eyes at least) act?

Western folks, be aware that Taynton brand pickle-flavored vodka (a phrase I never thought I'd type, but here we are) has been recalled for excessive levels of copper. It's sold in BC and Alberta, and online.

After 69 years in California I mistook CA for the state instead of our northern neighbors.  😄

Indeed. I did a double take also.

Four surface-ripened cheeses from Quebec are being recalled for listeria. They were sold in both Quebec and Ontario, and may have made their way to other provinces. Brands are La Vache à Maillotte and Le Fromage au Village.

This is a big one.  Deli/Charcuterie meats.   Daniele.

 

Super*bowl party food.

and another.....................canned meats and poultry.

Not a food recall as such, but if anyone uses Fiber Plus powder as a supplement/laxative, please be aware that a batch has been recalled for cronobacter contamination.

It's worth pointing out that these notices (and a big thank-you to members who post them) are kind of deceptive, in that if one reads a headline like "Daniele International LLC Recalls Ready-to-Eat Sausage Products Due to Possible Listeria Contamination," one might think that they should avoid sausages with the name "Danielle" on them.

 

In fact, Danielle isn't a brand you are likely to come across in the deli. However, depending on where you live, you might be familiar with brand names like Frederik, Boar's Head, Colameco and Del Duca. Danielle makes sausages for all those companies, and those are the names you need to look for. But unless you've read the notice, you wouldn't know that, or which of those brand's products might be subject to recall. 

 

Please don't misunderstand me -- I'm not criticizing those of you who post recall notices. Far from it. Rather, I want you to do your due diligence, and follow the links they're giving you. At worst, you'll come to find that something in you refrigerator is lying in wait to poison you. At best, you'll learn that Bourbon BBQ Vienna Sausages exist (scroll down a bit). Because this is a great country.

Not being from "down under" it would be unlikely that I would run across any of those brands that you mention, but a very well-known brand "Armour" is much more prevalent and looking at the list is the most common thread.

A couple of raw-milk cheddars from Quebec-based Le Cru de Clocher are being recalled for listeria. They were sold in Ontario and Quebec, and online.

A lot of cheeses sold under the "Fresh Fun Fantastic" and "Fromage au Village" brands are being recalled for listeria. They were sold in Ontario and Quebec, and online.

Yet another cheese recall for listeria, but this one's a bit higher-profile than most. It's Loblaw's PC brand aged Canadian (1-year) cheddar, in the 250g block.

A few things today. First, we've got Louis Latour 2021 Pinot Noir being recalled for the possible presence of glass.

We also have more cheeses/date codes being recalled for listeria. I presume they're all linked to the same milk supplier, or some such.

This is a bit niche, but Nuba brand carob drink is being recalled for botulism. At present, it's only known to have been sold in Ontario, Quebec and NS.

I just can't get over it.  This kind of post, in this case from the Canadian government agency, appears over and over.  

 

Hello, Here are new and/or updated Recalls and alerts that match your subscription settings: Liesse Chocolatier brand Vegan Chocolate Bunnies recalled due to undeclared milk (new) Product: Vegan Chocolate Bunnies Issue: Milk Audience: Retail   Why?  Why?  They are selling a vegan product and they've put milk into it?  Is someone careless?  Do they hope to get away with it?

What  is going on?  No need to reply I guess...just ranting...

Likely contamination from tempering machines that handle milk chocolate too.

There are a LOT of alerts on the list for undeclared allergens. I generally only post the ones that involve food safety in the classic sense (pathogens, foreign matter, etc), but the allergen ones come up a lot more frequently.
