CA Company Expands Recall of Tamale Products Due to Improper Processing

Primavera Nueva Inc., Sonoma, CA, is expanding its recall of its 4-count tamales because of an undercooking conditions of the products resulting in the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The expanded recall includes additional products.  The initial recall was posted on December 17, 2025.

The issue was that the products were sold as ready-to-heat, which is really ready-to-eat, but an ingredient used in the product had to be fully cooked first, but was not when the tamale product was made.  

"The products were made with a frozen ingredient labeled “Not Ready to Eat. Must Be Thoroughly Cooked Before Eating.” During an FDA inspection on October 10, 2025, the agency determined that earlier production records did not consistently verify internal cooking temperatures needed to control potential biological hazards, including Listeria monocytogenes".

So while Listeria was not actually detected in the product, it is a risk, as would other pathogens such as Salmonella.

Warning Letter Issued to Feed Mill for Excessive Mycotoxins in Feed That Led to Animal Deaths

FDA issued a Warning Letter to King Farm, Dover, DE, a manufacturer of non-medicated animal food, after a series of deaths to horses and a goat promoted an FDA investigation. "This inspection was initiated after FDA became aware of at least 30 horse deaths and potentially one goat death after consuming your animal food products that were contaminated with the mycotoxin fumonisin."

FDA found levels ranging form 18 to 36 ppm in the feed, while the limit for horses is 5ppm.

Having excessive levels of the toxin in the feed, FDA identified that the company did not have any practices in place to prevent it. FDA stated the operation "did not have procedures in place, conduct routine testing, or have any processes in place to determine whether mycotoxins such as fumonisin, aflatoxin, or deoxynivalenol (DON/vomitoxin) are present at levels that can cause injury or illness to animals or humans in these grain and grain co-products you receive, store, and use in your animal food products."

In addition, the company "failed to report a reportable food to the Reportable Food Registry (RFR) within twenty-four hours of determining that it is a reportable food (i.e., an animal food for which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, such animal food will cause serious adverse health consequences or death to animals). Failure to submit a required reportable food report is a prohibited act."

What are fumonisins and what is allowed in feed (FDA https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents/guidance-industry-fumonisin-levels-human-foods-and-animal-feeds)

Fumonisins are environmental toxins produced by the molds Fusarium moniliforme (F. verticillioides), F. proliferatum, and other Fusarium species that grow on agricultural commodities in the field or during storage. These mycotoxins have been found as contaminants worldwide, mainly in corn. More than ten types of fumonisins have been isolated and characterized. Of these, fumonisin B1 (FB1), fumonisin B2 (FB2), and fumonisin B3 (FB3) are the major fumonisins produced in nature. The most prevalent of these mycotoxins in contaminated corn is FB1, which is believed to be the most toxic (1, 2).

Occurrence in Raw Corn - The extent of contamination of raw corn with fumonisins varies with geographic location, agronomic and storage practices, and the vulnerability of the plants to fungal invasion during all phases of growth, storage, and processing. The levels of fumonisins in raw corn are also influenced by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall during pre-harvest and harvest periods (3). High levels of fumonisins are associated with hot and dry weather, followed by periods of high humidity. High levels of fumonisins may also occur in raw corn that has been damaged by insects (4, 5). Further, fumonisin levels in raw corn can increase under improper storage conditions. For example, optimal growth of fumonisin-producing molds that lead to increased levels of fumonisins in raw corn can occur when the moisture content of harvested raw corn during storage is 18-23 percent (5).

Animal Feeds

Corn and corn by-products intended for: Total Fumonisins (FB1+FB2+FB3)

Equids (horses) and rabbits 5 ppm  (no more than 20% of diet)**

Swine and catfish 20 ppm  (no more than 50% of diet)**

Breeding ruminants, breeding poultry and breeding mink* 30 ppm (no more than 50% of diet)**

Ruminants > 3 months old being raised for slaughter and mink being raised for pelt production 60 ppm  (no more than 50% of diet)**

Poultry being raised for slaughter 100 ppm  (no more than 50% of diet)**

All other species or classes of livestock and pet animals 10 ppm

Idaho Establishment Recalls Raw Ground Beef After FSIS Testing Finds E. coli O26

Mountain West Food Group, LLC, a Heyburn, Idaho establishment, is recalling approximately 2,855 pounds of raw ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O26.  The problem was discovered during routine FSIS testing and the sampling results showed the presence of E. coli O26.

FDA Issues Warning Letter to Florida Farm Operation Related to Salmonella Outbreak Linked to Cucumbers

FDA issued a Warning Letter to Bedner Growers, a farm operation in Boynton Beach, FL after inspection in response to o the 2024 multi-state outbreak of human infections with Salmonella Africana and Salmonella Braenderup linked to the firm's cucumbers.

"On April 2, 2025, FDA collected Sample 1148702 consisting of (b)(4) environmental swabs from your cucumber packing line. FDA analyzed Sample 1148702 and determined that (b)(4) of the (b)(4) swabs, representing food contact surfaces, were positive for Salmonella. Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) analysis revealed that, as of May 7, 2025, (b)(4) isolates matched (b)(4) 2025 clinical isolates in the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s (NCBI) database that were uploaded April 25, 2025, or later. The same (b)(4) isolates from sample 1148702 were pathogens associated with illness in the 2025 multi-state outbreak investigation of human infections with Salmonella Montevideo described below."

"As part of FDA’s investigation, on May 15, 2025, FDA collected Sample 1298712, cucumbers determined to have been grown at your farm, from a distribution center in Pennsylvania. Salmonella was detected and WGS analysis determined that two isolates from this sample matched the Salmonella Montevideo outbreak strain. In addition, multiple other strains of Salmonella were detected which matched other isolates in the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s (NCBI) database, including isolates from the 2024 multistate outbreak of human infections with Salmonella Africana and Salmonella Braenderup, and an isolate from a 2024 cucumber sample collected by the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, which was also determined to have been grown at your farm."

"On May 16, 2025, FDA received your written response, describing corrective actions taken by your farm since April 14, 2025. We note that your written response lacked supporting details, or evidence of implementation, except for a letter from the University of Florida, dated May 12, 2025, which describes the 3rd party sampling effort that occurred at your farm on April 16, 2025."

Michigan Firm Recalls Cheddar Cheese Product After Finding Listeria in Product.

Boss Dairy Farms, Charlevoix, MI, is voluntarily recalling one retail lot of Charlevoix Cheese Company 8oz Mild Cheddar Cheese because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.  The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing by the company revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in an 8oz block of mild cheddar.

It is important to note that this cheeses is made from pasteurized milk so the contamination would be more likely to be from post-process contamination from an environmental source (rather than from the raw milk ingredient).

Another issue is that the company is only recalling one lot of cheese.  As we have seen in many cases, an environmental contamination issue will often impact multiple lots....unless there is good reason why only one lot was impacted.

Product was distributed in Michigan only through retail stores.
