Smoked seafood products recalled for bacteria contamination

Today, Pomona-based Foremost Foods International Inc. issued a recalled of some of their seafood products sold under the Pangasinan brand name.

The recall concerns smoked seafood products which could potentially cause botulism in people who consume the product.  According to the Food and Drug Administration, the recalled Pangasinan smoked seafood products “have the potential to be contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, a bacteria which can cause life-threatening illness or death.”

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products should throw them out even if they do not appear or smell spoiled.  The products were sold between March 2010 and October 2011 in California, Nevada, and Washington.

13 deaths and 72 illnesses linked to contaminated cantaloupes

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 13 deaths and 72 illnesses have been linked to a listeria outbreak caused by contaminated cantaloupes grown at Jensen Farms in Colorado.

The recalled cantaloupes were distributed to stores in 24 states, including California.  Reports of illness have come from 18 states, also including California.

Contaminated cantaloupes should have stickers stating “Rocky Ford,” “Sweet Rocky Fords,” “Colorado Grown,” “Jensenfarms.com,” or “Distributed by Frontera Produce.”

Officials say that the strain of listeria bacteria from the contaminated cantaloupes is most likely to affect people with compromised immune systems and the elderly.  The median age of people who have become ill from consuming the cantaloupe was reported to be 78-years old.
