Oregon Firm Recalls Meal Kits Made with Recalled Chicken Ingredient with Listeria

Reser’s Fine Foods is recalling a limited number of meal kits due to the inclusion of recalled chicken from their ingredient supplier (BrucePac) which had issued a recall of its RTE chicken product due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.  Reser’s Fine Foods is no longer using any ingredients from the ingredient supplier’s (BrucePac) impacted facility.

This is interesting from a supplier control perspective.  To what degree did they rely on USDA inspection?

Out of an abundance of caution, Reser’s Fine Foods is voluntarily recalling a limited number of meal kits due to the inclusion of recalled chicken from an outside ingredient supplier (BrucePac). The ingredient supplier (BrucePac) recall is due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

Listeria monocytogenes is 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.

The kits were distributed in the following states: AL, AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MO, NE, NY, NC, OH, OK, OR, PA, SC, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA, WY.

Reser’s Fine Foods is no longer using any ingredients from the ingredient supplier’s (BrucePac) impacted facility.

Consumers who have purchased these kits should not consume any part of the kits; rather, they may return it to the store for a full refund or discard the item.
