Whole Foods Takes Warning Letter on the Chin for February Inspection

FDA issued a warning letter on June 8, 2016 to Whole Foods for an inspection completed back in February.  While Whole Foods responded to the inspection findings in March, the Warning was issued this week (June 8th), because FDA did not find the response acceptable.

"We do not consider your response acceptable because you failed to provide documentation for our review, which demonstrates that all your noted corrective actions have been effectively implemented. This documentation may include photographs, invoices, work orders, voluntary destruction records of any affected products, certification of actions performed by contractors, and/or any other useful information that would assist us in evaluating your corrections."

The initial inspection found a number of issues, nothing overly serious. but mostly what could be considered sloppy procedures.  This included multiple condensation issues, improper sanitation procedures with instances where too high a sanitizer concentration was used, potential cross contamination issues, inadequate handwashing water temperatures, and improperly marked sanitizing agents.  Environmental sampling of 100 samples was negative for Listeria monocytogenes, but one sample was positive for a non-pathogenic species of Listeria.

Clearly some bad vibes going on between the agency and the plant.  If issues were so bad, why did a follow-up inspection not occur, or why wasn't this letter issued in March?  A lot to take away from this.

• Tighten up procedures now rather than having an agency inspector tell you.  Inspections are rarely perfect, but the number of issues seen here show a lack of attention to detail.
• Ensure corrective actions to inspection reports are completed as soon as possible.Those corrective actions must be detailed / documented to cover each and every element addressed in the inspection and be able to demonstrate that the risk issues have been adequately  addressed .  Overkill in documentation support was needed here rather than glossing over.

French cheese linked to a case of listeriosis

An elderly Pennsylvania man was stricken with listerosis after eating a high-priced soft cheese imported from France.  Whole Foods is recalling the cheese baring thier own label.

Interesting is the fact that Whole Foods looks to have cut and repackaged the cheese which begs the question...where did the contamination occur - was it present in the original package, or did the cheese become contaminated during repackaging?  Additionally, the article stated that the cheese product was slow moving in regard to retail sales, which means that it would have given more time for Listeria to grow.  Listeria, as we know, grows at refrigeration temperatures, although slowly.


Whole Foods recalls contaminated cheese
Man seriously ill after consuming tainted product from East Liberty grocer
July 13, 2012 12:08 am

By David Templeton / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

A pricey French cheese sold at Whole Foods Market in East Liberty is being recalled more than a month after a 69-year-old Westmoreland County man grew seriously ill from listeriosis, a food-borne bacterial infection.

The man fell ill June 7 and was hospitalized after eating Jean Perrin Edel de Cleron cheese -- a soft, pasteurized cow's milk French cheese that sells for about $25 a pound. The man continues to recover in a rehabilitation center, said Guillermo Cole, Allegheny County Health Department spokesman.

On Thursday, the health department and Whole Foods Market announced the recall of the cheese, which was cut and packaged in clear plastic wrap bearing a Whole Foods Market scale label and code beginning with 293351. The cheese was sold between May 20 and July 3.

The recall didn't occur until more than a month after the man fell ill, Mr. Cole said, because it took time for him to be diagnosed and then to get positive test results on foods he had consumed with follow-up efforts to test samples from the market where he purchased the cheese.

"It required some medical detective work," Mr. Cole said.

The store is offering full refunds for the cheese. The health department said customers who purchased it from the market during that time period should either dispose of it in the garbage or return it to the store. Those who touch the cheese should wash their hands immediately afterward to avoid cross-contamination. The store also has posted signs in the store to notify customers of the recall.

The store and health department are working to ensure that no cross-contamination occurred and that equipment and utensils used in cutting, weighing or packaging the cheese isn't contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, the bacterium that causes listeriosis.

The illness primarily affects older adults, people with weakened immune systems, pregnant women and newborns. Such infections, caused by consumption of food contaminated with the bacterium, can be serious and possibly fatal.

Anyone who consumed the cheese should seek medical help if the individual has diarrhea and gastrointestinal illness followed by fever and muscular aches.

Customers who have the recalled product may contact the health department at 412-687-2243 (ACHD) and arrange to have the cheese tested.

The health department declined to identify the ill man. Mr. Cole said the man represents the only one affected by the contamination to date. The cheese that the man purchased tested positive for the bacterium, as did samples of the cheese taken at the store.

On the upside, Mr. Cole said, the price of the cheese meant that not a large quantity had been sold.

Macadamia Nuts Recalled Due To Salmonella Positive Sample

Whole Foods is recalling raw macadamia nuts after an FDA contract laboratory found a sample of the product to be positive for Salmonella.

Macadamia nuts are often eaten raw.  The processing is fairly simple - Dehusking, drying, de-shelling, and further drying to a moisture level of 1.5%.  Contamination can occur from the point when the nut is de-shelled until when it is packaged.

There have been a number of recalls of macadamia nuts due to Salmonella (Nov 1, 2014, 2010 and 2009).

Media Contact: Darrah Gist Darrah.Gist@wholefoods.com

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — February 3, 2015 — ATLANTA, GA — Whole Foods Market is recalling packaged raw macadamia nuts due to possible Salmonella contamination. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

Orangegate - Packaging of Pre-Peeled Oranges

Whole Foods took some criticism for selling pre-peeled oranges in plastic packaging.  A person's tweet went viral stating “If only nature would find a way to cover these oranges so we didn’t need to waste so much plastic on them.”  Whole Foods quickly discontinued sale.

Not only does it create waste, but removing one of the best food safety packages around, the orange peel, the product becomes more susceptible to contamination.

Two Retailers Issue Recalls Associated with Mann Packing Recall of Produce Due to Listeria

Whole Foods and Albertsons have issued recalls associated with vegetable items from Mann Packing Company due to Listeria.  Mann Packing issued their recall on November 3rd.

The Listeria issue evidently started with testing done by the CFIA.  From an article in The Packer,  "According to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, the Mann Packing recall was an update to a Nov. 1 recall of six Compliments (Sobeys) brand fresh-cut products. That recall was also an expansion of an Oct. 30 recall, of Compliments Sweet Kale Blend. The kale item was recalled following a test from the Canadian agency that detected Listeria monocytogenes."

Grocery Chain Recalls Deli Salad Items Due to Listeria Positive Samples

Whole Foods recalled various deli salads including chicken and pasta salad made at their central kitchen in Massachusetts.  Product was made on the 16th with a sell-by-date of the 23rd.
At the time of the recall, the product had already reached its expiration date.

A few things to note - the notice states that a sampling of the products tested positive which indicates more than one product.  Whether or not that is the case, they do have Listeria within the facility and there should be a question of whether it is under control.  Commissary operations may or may not do extensive testing for Listeria, mainly because the shelf-life is so short.  Since this product is one day beyond the Food Code limitation of 7 days (day one is the day product is made), there should be controls in place.  Also, since this is a dual jurisdiction plant (both FDA and USDA have oversight), from a USDA perspective of a facility with RTE product and post-lethality exposure, some testing should be taking place.

When Listeria is found on product, there is a high probability that it will still be in the environment unless there is a good explanation why contamination was limited to that day.  Hopefully before this facility restarts, they conduct ample cleaning and verification testing prior to starting production.

No illnesses have been reported...yet.  With Whole Genome Sequencing, further analysis of the LM found in the facility can now be matched against cases of Listeria infection that have occurred throughout the region.
