The recalled products bear the production code of “GBD 08058” on the package. The meat and poultry products were produced on Feb. 26 and 27, 2008, and were sent to retail establishments in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wisconsin, and distribution centers in New York.

The problem was discovered through microbiological sampling by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of this product.

Consumption of food contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. Healthy people rarely contract listeriosis. However, listeriosis can cause high fever, severe headache, neck stiffness and nausea. Listeriosis can also cause miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as serious and sometimes fatal infections in those with weakened immune systems, such as infants, the elderly and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy.

Media with questions about the recall should contact company Vice President for Operations, Andrew Murphy at (718) 977-1200 (ext. 0163). Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Quality Control Manager Vanessa Lindsay at (718) 977-1200 (ext. 0166).

It is about time that the Food and Drug Administration is held responsible for putting the American public at risk. This agency is supposed to keep up safe from these problems. I believe that it is time that all Americans begin to hold all forms of Federal Government responsible for doing the job that they have assigned. They have had a free ride for long enough. This is primarly the reason that I am running for Congressional Represenative for South Carolina's 3rd Congression Distrit. I can be contacted at Tommy Carson for Congress Campaign Committee P.O.
