The company identified the product as California Grown Shelled Walnuts with Lot No. 42720, Best by 12/11/2014, UPC code 69887507806. The walnuts were sold to retailers in Kansas City, KS, in March of this year.
Sun Tree said it was recalling the walnuts because of the possibility of contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, although it noted that third-party lab testing did not reveal any harmful pathogen and that no illnesses or customer complaints had been received to date.
The company stated that this voluntary recall was initiated after FDA sampling detected Listeria monocytogenes in walnuts from a California supplier, Golden State Foods, which also supplied the walnuts packed for retail in Kansas City, KS. All walnuts processed in the facility during the same time frame as the product found positive are being recalled to ensure the highest degree of public safety.
Consumers who have purchased walnuts are urged not to consume them. Consumers are advised to dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with any questions may call Glen Kerby at 1-623-707-5604, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. CDT weekdays.
Information about the two other recent walnut recalls can be found here and here.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recalled shelled walnuts were distributed in the company’s Belleville retail stores. The product comes in an 8-ounce clear plastic package marked with a Farmer’s Market label indicating pack dates from March 2014 through May 2014.
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

FSIS was notified of the first illness on May 8 and immediately began working with our partners at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to find the source of these illnesses. Based on the initial findings in the investigations, FSIS and CDC were able to establish a direct link to ground beef products supplied by Wolverine Packing Company.
As these investigations are initiated, it would be natural for one to assume that the scope of a recall would be limited to the amount of contaminated products that were produced within a specific time frame, or a production lot, to use an industry term. However, it is not uncommon during the course of an investigation to identify additional products that should be included in a recall.
In general, there are several reasons why the amount of product would increase as the agency considers whether to conduct a recall, and, if so, what product is involved:
The illnesses associated with this particular recall involve a very rare strain of E. coli O157:H7, so if there are additional illnesses, it may be easier for FSIS to establish a direct link to product from this facility; it also will be possible that any additional illnesses will be linked to product that is already subject to the recall. If any additional illnesses are linked to different production dates that are not covered in the initial recall, then the recall would be expanded.
So far, we have no evidence to suggest that the recall should be expanded, but the investigation is still very active. We continue to look for additional sources either from Wolverine or a common supplier and will certainly pursue those leads if the investigation uncovers them. If warranted, the new information also may result in an expanded recall.
For consumers, we advise all consumers to safely prepare raw ground beef products by cooking them to 160 degrees F. When dining out, this is equivalent to ordering your burger well-done. At the grocery store, check ground beef product labels that bear the establishment number “EST. 2574B” with a production date code in the format “Packing Nos: MM DD 14” between “03 31 14” and “04 18 14.”
Industry’s responsibility during any recall follows a consistent pattern. In this situation, Wolverine is responsible for notifying the distributors who received its product to return the product to Wolverine. In turn, the distributor is responsible for alerting any retail outlets or restaurants to which it delivered the recalled product. Retailers and restaurants are expected to pull the product from their shelves or storage area and return it to Wolverine.
As the FSIS press release indicated, the recalled products were shipped to distributors for restaurant use in Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, and Ohio. If you are a restaurant owner in these states and are wondering if you have received this recalled product, you should receive notification from your distributor that they were supplied recalled products from Wolverine that were sent to you. Or, you can check product labels that bear the establishment number “EST. 2574B” with a production date code in the format “Packing Nos: MM DD 14” between “03 31 14” and “04 18 14.”
As always, if you have additional questions, do not hesitate to “Ask Karen,” the FSIS virtual representative that is available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov. Or you can call the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854), which is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday.

The potential for contamination was found during a routine test of Target Archer Farms Traditional Hummus (10 ounce) by the Texas Department of Health. No illnesses have been reported.
Listeria is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.

Lansal has contacted all impacted retail customers and distributors, instructing them to remove all affected product from sale and is working with the appropriate agencies, including state Departments of Health, the Food and Drug Administration and local authorities.
Consumers who have purchased the above hummus or dip products are urged not to eat it and to dispose of it or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with any questions may call toll free (877) 550-0694 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, seven days a week.
The likely source of the infections, CDC reported, is the now-recalled ground beef produced by Wolverine Packing Co. of Detroit, MI. On Monday, CDC also released some advice to consumers about avoiding eating undercooked ground beef in restaurants, which is what sickened people in this outbreak reported doing.
A total of 11 individuals infected with the outbreak strains of STEC O157:H7 have been reported from four states, CDC noted. The number of ill persons identified in each state is as follows: Massachusetts (1), Michigan (5), Missouri (1) and Ohio (4).
Among persons for whom information is available, CDC stated that they became ill with symptoms from April 22, 2014, to May 2, 2014. Those sickened range in age from 19 years to 46 years, with a median age of 26 years. Fifty-four percent of ill persons are male. Among 10 people with available information, six reported being hospitalized. None of those sickened in this outbreak have developed HUS (hemolytic uremic syndrome, a type of kidney failure), and no deaths have been reported, CDC noted.
Recent reports of four HUS cases in Kansas, including one woman who had traveled to Texas, have not officially been connected to this CDC outbreak investigation. However, given the wide distribution and the large amount (about 1.8 million pounds) of the now-recalled ground beef, more E. coli cases may emerge.
Food Safety News will update this story on Tuesday with comments from CDC officials about the progress of the investigation.
According to the CDC report, investigators are using the PulseNet system to identify cases of illness that may be part of this outbreak. PulseNet, the national subtyping network of public health and food regulatory agency laboratories coordinated by CDC, obtains DNA “fingerprints” of E. coli bacteria through diagnostic testing with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis, or PFGE.
The type of bacteria responsible for this outbreak is among those referred to as Shiga toxin-producing E. coli, or STEC. Some types of STEC frequently cause severe disease, including bloody diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which is a type of kidney failure. STEC bacteria are divided into serogroups (e.g., O157 or O121). E. coli O157 is the STEC serogroup found most commonly in U.S. patients.
Signs and symptoms of E. coli infection are available here.
This outbreak can be visually described with a chart showing the number of persons who became ill each day. This chart is called an epidemic curve or epi curve. Illnesses that began after May 1, 2014, might not yet be reported due to the time it takes between when a person becomes ill and when the illness is reported. This takes an average of two to four weeks. Please see the Timeline for Reporting Cases of E. coli O157 Infection for more details.
Epidemiologic and traceback investigations conducted by officials in local, state, and federal public health, agriculture, and regulatory agencies indicate that ground beef produced by Wolverine Packing Co. is the likely source of this outbreak.
As of May 16, 2014, in interviews, ill persons answered questions about foods eaten and other exposures during the week before becoming ill. All of the 10 ill persons interviewed reported eating ground beef prepared at a restaurant before becoming ill.
Findings of multiple traceback investigations of the ground beef used at restaurants where ill persons reported they had dined identified Wolverine Packing Co. as the source of the ground beef. On May 19, 2014, Wolverine voluntarily recalled approximately 1.8 million pounds of ground beef that may be contaminated with STEC O157:H7.
The ground beef was shipped to distributors for retail and restaurant use nationwide. There was no distribution of the products to the Department of Defense, the National School Lunch Program, or catalog/internet sales. Products are regulated by USDA-FSIS and bear the establishment number “2574B” inside the USDA mark of inspection and have a production date code in the format “Packing Nos: MM DD 14” between “03 31 14” and “04 18 14.” A full list of recalled ground beef products is available from the USDA-FSIS website.
CDC and state and local public health partners are continuing laboratory surveillance through PulseNet to identify additional ill persons and to interview them about foods eaten before becoming ill. FSIS is continuing to work closely with CDC and state partners during this investigation to determine the source of contamination and identify any other potentially contaminated products still on the market. CDC will update the public when additional information is available.

The company statement noted that, while it was unlikely, improper storage could create conditions that could lead to premature spoilage and/or foodborne illness, so it was instituting the recall as a precaution.
The products were shipped nationwide from the company’s plant in Tulare, CA, and include cottage cheese sold under the Breakstone, Simply Kraft, Knudsen and Daily Chef labels. According to Kraft, some ingredients in the affected cottage cheese products were not stored at company temperature standards.
All the affected products have code dates from May 9, 2014, through July 23, 2014, which can be found on the bottom of hte cup or the top of the package. Those Simply Kraft products with a plant code of 36-2158 on the cups or a “W” in the case code (e.g., “W 21 JUL 2014″) are not affected. Simply Kraft products subject to the recall are only those with a plant code of 06-245 on the bottom of the cup and case code date without any “W” (e.g., “21 JUL 2014″).
No other Knudsen, Breakstone’s, Simply Kraft or Daily Chef products are included in the recall.
Consumers who purchased any of these products should not eat them but should return them to the store where purchased for an exchange or full refund. Consumers also can contact Kraft Foods Consumer Relations at 1-800-396-6307 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
This voluntary recall has been issued because the FDA has reported that an independent lab detected the bacteria in a sample during a recent review.
The company has received a limited number of reports of dogs experiencing nausea and diarrhea that may be associated with these specific products. The company has received no reports of human illness as a result of these products.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
However, healthy cats and dogs rarely become sick from Listeria. Animals ill with Listeria will display symptoms similar to the ones listed above for humans. People who have concerns about whether their pet has Listeria should contact their veterinarian.
The recalled product was distributed nationwide to distributors, retail stores, Internet retailers and directly to consumers. The product can be identified by the batch ID code (best used by date) printed on the side of the plastic tube or on a label on the box.

Bill Marler, a food safety attorney with Marler Clark, the Seattle law firm which underwrites Food Safety News, represents 46 of the 66 people who filed lawsuits in the aftermath of the outbreak.
Details of the settlements between Walmart and plaintiffs in the 23 civil cases were not released, and those who will receive payments agreed not to share any financial information.
“We’re pleased that both sides could come together to resolve the case,” Marler was quoted as saying. “While we can’t discuss the details or terms of the (Walmart) settlement, we are pleased with the resolution, which was in everyone’s best interest.”
Walmart is now no longer involved in litigation over the Jensen Farms cantaloupe, he added. However, cases remain pending against the food safety auditing firm of Primus Group Inc, distributor Frontera Produce and other retailers that sold the cantaloupe. Also, the Jensens are suing Primus.
Brothers Eric and Ryan Jensen owned Jensen Farms in Holly, CO, where they grew the cantaloupe that sickened at least 147 people with Listeria and killed more than 30, making it one of the deadliest foodborne illness outbreaks in U.S. history.
The case was a landmark in foodborne illness litigation, becoming one of the first instances in which food producers faced criminal charges for their contaminated food. The Jensens were sentenced in January to five years probation, six months home detention, and $150,000 each in restitution fees to victims.

USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) in January discovered the Petaluma slaughterhouse processed beef that was “unfit for human food.” FSIS shut the plant down and called for recall of an amount equal to a year’s worth of the plant’s production. Apparently any of it might have escaped USDA inspection.
Most likely, the plant was processing cows with cancerous eye tumors without the inspectors knowing and/or caring. It’s not clear if the practice was widespread or more incidental. USDA veterinarians are required to prevent cows with more developed tumors from being slaughtered for human food. However, the actual food safety danger is not clear.
Let’s revisit Rancho with few questions and answers:
Q. What about the recall?
A. It remains “active,” meaning that FSIS has not yet reported on the amount of beef recovered by the recall. Usually in recalls like this one, that amount will be pretty small.
Q. Has the slaughterhouse resumed operation?
A. Yes, but it’s under new ownership. Marin Sun Farms purchased the Petaluma slaughterhouse from Rancho Feeding Corp. and re-opened it on April 7. “Everything has been rewritten, re-inspected, reinvested in, with a completely new mission and outlook on how to do business and how to bring product to Bay Area consumers,” said David Evans, Marin Sun’s chief executive officer.
Q. What about those reports of risqué behavior?
A. Chris Frates and Shannon Travis, investigative reporters for CNN, made this story a little sexier than it might have been by documenting the existence of an illicit romance reportedly going on between the plant foreman and a meat inspector. Like earlier reports from a union official about possible disputes between a meat inspector and the USDA veterinarian assigned to the plant, it’s unclear how personal relationships in the relatively small facility played into the apparent fact that diseased beef was processed without the benefit of inspection.
Q. Is there going to be an independent investigation?
A. FSIS turned its findings over the USDA’s Office of the Inspector General, which is investigating alongside the Office of the U.S. District Attorney for Northern California. USDA routinely gets assistance from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and likely is taking the case before a federal grand jury. In other words, it’s about an independent as it gets, but it does take time.
Q. Who are the likely targets of the investigation?
A. Jesse Amaral and Robert Singleton, who owned Rancho Feeding Corp. at the time of the recall, are at the top of the list. Both men are Petaluma residents. Plant employees who were in the know, meaning they were likely part of the conspiracy that pulled off the fraud, would also be candidates for indictment. And, according to the CNN investigation, the feds have caught employees on tape fabricating stamps of approvals and substituting cancerous cow heads with healthy ones. It could take a while, but this one does seem “ripe” for a federal indictment.
Q. Who was hurt?
A. With no illnesses yet associated with the recall and becoming less likely as time passes, the focus is on economic losses. Rancher Bill Newman, whose BN Ranch hired Rancho to process 100,000 pounds of prime, grass-fed beef that he now cannot sell per FSIS recall rules, is out about $400,000. And, with its personnel and policies under the microscope, FSIS might also be feeling some pain.
Anyone who purchased organic mangos in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Jersey or Texas since mid-April needs to check their source.
San Francisco-based Pacific Organic Produce has recalled a number of cases of organic Tommy Atkins mangos sold under the “Purity Organic” brand between April 14 and May 2. No illnesses have yet been associated with the recalled organic mangos, but the fruit may be contaminated with potentially deadly Listeria monocytogenes.
The organic produce business issued a statement saying the recall was issued as a precaution because a single sample in an FDA test yielded a positive result for Listeria monocytogenes.
Pacific Organic Produce also said it was coordinating closely with regulatory officials and has contacted its customers to ensure that any remaining recalled products are removed.
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause foodborne illness in a person who consumes a food item contaminated with it. Symptoms of infection may include fever, muscle aches and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea.
The mangos were shipped to retailers and distributors in limited quantities only to those five states. The recall notice did not say where the mangos were grown.
The company’s voluntary field action was initiated because of routine testing results and not because of any illnesses to date from consumption.
Some of the eggs were distributed in Colorado and some may have gone to Idaho, Kansas, New Mexico and Utah. These were distributed through retail outlets.
The eggs are packed in dozen and half-dozen packages. The products in question will have a packing date of 93, 94, 97, or 98; an expiration date of “051814,” “051914,” “052214,” or “052314”; they will also include a location code of 1 or 3. All this information is on the package, located on a white sticker on the end of each carton.
The company is confident that any and all products sent out with any other packing codes or expiration dates are fully safe for consumption. No associated illnesses have been reported to date.
Routine testing, initiated by the firm, revealed that the finished products from certain barns could potentially contain the Salmonella bacteria. The company immediately ceased production in these areas and began taking action to rectify the situation.
Consumers who have purchased these products may return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at (970) 286-0080. A representative will be available 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Salmonella is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (e.g., infected aneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis.

I learned this recipe from friends in China's Yunnan Province, where lamb's quarters are considered a wild green (ye cai), and collected along the roadside on country outings. The recipe lists 'spinach' rather than lamb's quarters, because there was no way to submit the recipe with an ingredient the program didn't recognize (the joys of technology). Koreans actually do prepare spinach this way--just substitute sugar for the red pepper--but it was the lamb's quarters recipe I wanted to share today.

This is one of my fam's favorite dishes (my 8 yr old son, P1, loves it!) and it's super easy to make too. Lots of chopping, but I find that more therapeutic then shopping sometimes :) COOKING NOTE: Sometimes I hate to use the grill so this does well in the broiler too. Just use a baking sheet lined with foil topped with a non-coated cooling rack. Also fill bottom of pan with 1/2 cup of water to help cook evenly and keeps the meat juicy. Based a few times to get a nice thick, saucy coating.
