Ready-to-Eat Food Items Recalled Due to Temperature Abuse During Transport to Retail Location

 C&S Wholesale Grocers, located in Westfield, Mass. is recalling an undetermined amount of ready-to-eat and not-ready-to-eat meat and poultry products due to temperature abuse during transport,The ready-to-eat and not-ready-to-eat meat and poultry products were sold on June 17, 2019, at two Target retail stores in New York. The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that the product was held at an incorrect temperature and then inadvertently shipped into commerce.  All remaining inventory of the recalled items have been removed from the store and destroyed.

In the FDA recall notice for the same two shipments, the reasoning was mechanical failure during transportation.  One may guess an improperly operating, or non-operating refrigeration unit.
