Recall Gallery: Metal shavings Turkey Hill ice-cream; banned dye Good Taste plums
Among the items recalled include metal shavings found in Turkey Hill ice-cream, banned dye in 'Good Taste' plums and Yoders Country Market honey roasted peanuts, which contain undeclared milk and wheat.
The shutdown was due to a US Congress which failed to overcome a budget impasse, leaving a significant funding shortfall.
Among the hardest hit departments was the US Food and Drug Administration, which saw a full 45% of its staff furloughed until this week.
The FDA was able to carry out “critical” activities (high-risk recalls, civil/criminal investigations, import entry review among them), but it did not have the resources to support the majority of its food safety activities, routine inspections, import monitoring and other functions.
