Massive Meat and Chicken Listeria Recall Includes Trader Joe's, Costco and Others

Listeria recall expanded to 47 million pounds of meat and poultry sold over past 2 years in Maryland and nationwide.

Approximately 47,112,256 pounds of not-ready-to-eat meat and poultry products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes have been recalled from Costco, Trader Joe's and other stores, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced.

This action is being taken in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because the recalled products contain vegetables that are part of the recent CRF Frozen Foods recall.

I'm really surprised Schwan's is still delivering the recalled food items!  Not good.

I just received an email from Whole Foods the other day.  It was a huge list of food items going back into last year!  Wha???

Couldn't they get the list out to customers in a more timely basis?  I guess not.

they are not still delivering the recalled items.

i have had the vegetables in my freezer for maybe a month or more.

they will only start delivering the items again when it is safe to do so and when they have new inventory.

schwans is very proactive when it comes to these recalls. they have a record of what you bought and they usually send an email and give you a phone call. you give them back to your driver and they give you full credit, even on items where you may have used part of the bag.
