Several food products were recently recalled for undeclared
allergens, microbial contaminations, and inspection
deficiencies.
According to FDA's website, companies recalled five products
because their packages did not list certain allergenic ingredients:
chocolate cherries for undeclared peanuts, organic pasta for
undeclared soy, rice cakes for undeclared milk, and waffles and a
cheese dip for undeclared egg. FDA also posted recalls of
prepackaged sandwiches, anchovies, and a cheese product due to
concerns of potential Listeria contamination. A brand of jarred
pesto sauce was called back because improper processing made it
susceptible to botulism toxin.
USDA posted information about recalled beef jerky and a pork blood
product that were produced without inspection. A company recalled
ground beef for foreign material contamination, including pieces of
metal, and another producer called back its beef filling because
the products did not meet critical cooking limits. There were also
recalls of breakfast meat and poultry products for possible
Listeria contamination.

products and for USDA-regulated products.
