Peppers, avocados recalled
Here we go again. Within weeks of clearing tomatoes as a culprit, the Food and Drug Administration is pointing a finger at jalapeño and Serrano peppers and avocados -- and a new strain of foodborne bacteria. Today, we learn health departments in Texas and North Carolina discovered it on fruit and vegetables shipped from Hildalgo, Tx.
The FDA added the suspect products were distributed to the following states: TX, DE, NC, GA, OK, IA, MN, IL, FL, IN, MD, NY, MS, AR, KS, and KY. "The avocados being recalled were shipped in boxes labeled 'Frutas Finas de Tancitaro HASS Avocados, Produce of Mexico,' all sizes, with lot number HUE08160090889. The jalapeño Peppers and Serrano peppers being recalled were shipped in 35lb. plastic crates with no brand name or label," the agency said.
Peppers, avocados recalled

Here we go again. Within weeks of clearing tomatoes as a culprit, the Food and Drug Administration is pointing a finger at jalapeño and Serrano peppers and avocados -- and a new strain of foodborne bacteria. Today, we learn health departments in Texas and North Carolina discovered it on fruit and vegetables shipped from Hildalgo, Tx.| The recall is a result of sampling not by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but by the Texas Department of State Health Services and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services which revealed that these products contained the [salmonella] bacteria. The company has voluntarily initiated a recall of its already distributed products and has stopped future distribution while the FDA, Texas Health, North Carolina Health and the company continue to investigate to determine the source of the problem. |
