Badia Spices Recalls Ground Oregano (Oregano Molido)
Badia
Spices of Florida announced today that it is voluntarily recalling its Badia
brand Ground Oregano (Oregano Molido) Upc #33844 00010, a 2 oz. bottle bearing
Lot #092601 and an expiration date of 10/2006, distributed to retail stores in
Florida; and New York. This recall is being effected on account of a possible
salmonella contamination. A sampling from the Department of Agriculture was
found to be positive for salmonella.
Salmonella
can cause serious illness and sometimes-fatal infections in young children,
frail or elderly people and other 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 (i.e., infected
eneurysms), endocarditis and arthritis. Consumers are urged to check their
kitchens for this product, and to discard it or return it to the place of
purchase for a full refund or exchange.
When
Ground Oregano (Oregano Powder) is used in preparing foods cooked at 165
degrees Fahrenheit or higher, the risk of food borne illness due to Salmonella
is significantly reduced. Nevertheless, the company understands that some
customers may not cook this product at such temperatures and wishes to notify
the public accordingly. Consumers with questions or concerns are to contact Badia
Spices, Inc. at 305-629-8000 or info@badia-spices.com.

FDA ANNOUNCES A RECALL BY ANHING CORPORATION OF MINI JELLY SNACK CUPS CANDIES DUE TO CHOKING HAZARD
The
FDA is announcing the recall by Anhing Corporation, Los Angeles, California, of

konnyaku, yam flour, or glucomannan. The Consumer Product Safety Commission and
the Food and Drug Administration consider this type of candy to pose a serious
choking risk, particularly to infants, children and the elderly. Local

of deaths in other countries.

In August and October 2001,
the FDA issued general warnings against consuming mini-cup gel candies that
contain the ingredient "konjac". In December 2001
and January
2002 two other firms recalled gel candies. In October 2001, the agency
issued an Import
Alert to prevent these candies from entering the country. Import Alerts
identify problem commodities and communicate guidance to FDA field offices and
the importing community for detention of products which appear to be in
violation of the law. However, candies imported prior to the import alert are
still in the US market. These candies are sold under various brand names and
are distributed by various companies. The FDA continues to investigate and
follow-up this issue.
