Michigan Turkey Producers to recall produce due to contamination
There are concerns that the products may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically an unidentified black material, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The recall has been determined as Class I, which means it is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.
The oven-roasted turkey breast items, which include logs and sliced products, were produced on 29 August 2016 and 16 September 2016.
The problem was discovered when the establishment received a customer complaint, but FSIS has received no confirmed reports of injury or illness from consumption of these products.
The products subject to recall are:
• 12lb packages containing ‘MESON SANDWICHES, OVEN ROASTED SLICED TURKEY BREAST’, with a use- or freeze-by date of 11/27/16, and a case code of ‘48598’ on the left side of the label
• 22lb logs containing ‘OVEN ROASTED TURKEY BREAST WITH BROTH’, with a use- or freeze-by date of 11/27/16, and a case code of ‘48576’ on the left side of the label
• 22lb logs containing ‘OVEN ROASTED TURKEY BREAST WITH BROTH’, with a use- or freeze-by date of 12/15/16, and a case code of ‘48576’ on the left side of the label
