Egg Rolls Recalled for Being Produced Under Unsanitary Conditions, Recall Then Expanded

A St. Louis establishment is recalling 126,000 lbs of egg roll products for being produced under unsanitary conditions. The problem was discovered while FSIS was conducting routine food inspection activities.  Product was shipped to institutional locations in Georgia and Missouri.

On 10/25, a week after initial recall, the recall was expanded from 118,00 to 126,000 lbs.

Additional information was difficult to find on the types of conditions inspectors found. In fact, it was difficult to find any information on the company outside of an address in St. Louis that was in the back of some older building complex with no signage posted.

Makes you wonder how one selects this company to supply product.
