RTE Meat and Poultry Products Recalled For Not Having Safe-Handling Instructions Requiring Refrigeration

Alef Sausage Inc., a Mundelein, Ill. establishment, is recalling approximately 61,574 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) halal meat and poultry sausage products due to misbranding and possible temperature abuse - the products were not labeled with a handling statement indicating that they should be kept refrigerated, which could lead to temperature abuse of the products.  The problem was discovered when the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets notified FSIS that it had observed the meat salami product stored at non-refrigerated temperatures at a retail store in Brooklyn, New York. The product is not shelf stable but was not labeled with a handling statement indicating that it should be kept refrigerated. FSIS' investigation identified additional varieties of halal meat and poultry sausage products with the brand name "Sheikh" produced by Alef Sausage Inc. in commerce that did not bear a handling statement.

This was brought to our attention by The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and The Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), after they were alerted that a sample of the Ground Cumin collected by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services tested positive for Salmonella. The Lipari Branded Ground Cumin Tubs manufactured by International Food are being recalled as they are potentially adulterate with Salmonella.

Various Imported Snack Items Recalled After Label Design Misses Milk Present in Spice Blend

JABSONS FOODS PVT LTD is voluntarily recalling Tandoori Roasted Chana (Chick Peas), Tandoori Roasted Peanut, Tandoori KajuCashew Nuts , Tandoori Peanut Spread, Thai sweet Chilli Roasted Peanut because they contains undeclared Milk. Product was sold at retail stores in New Jersey, New York, Florida, Texas, Virginia, Los Angeles, Oakland, Chicago as well as our online JABSON store at Amazon.com

Subsequent Firm investigation indicates the problem was caused by an oversight in identifying the milk allergen during receiving the seasoning mix.

Product is imported from India where it is manufactured by Bhrigu Foods LLC.  The importers of this product would have been required to have a FSVP in place for this product.  As part of the hazard analysis, allergens will need to be identified as a hazard.  The identification of this could be missed on a less-than-thorough analysis.
