Taylor Farms Recalls 64,000 Pounds of Chicken and Pork Due to Listeria Risk

By Marler Clark

Taylor Farms Pacific, a Tracy, Calif., establishment, has recalled approximately 64,000 pounds of chicken and pork products because the broccoli used in these products may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The problem was identified through a routine sampling of products at retail by the Washington Department of Agriculture which led to a Feb. 24, 2011 recall of products containing broccoli announced by the Food and Drug Administration. Some of these products may have already been identified in that release.

The products subject to recall include:

• 'Raley's Yellow Curry Chicken Rice Bowl' 17 oz.

• 'Raley's Udon Pork Noodle Bowl', 17 oz.

• 'Raley's Udon Chicken Noodle Bowl', 17 oz.

• 'Raley's Asian Pasta Toss Tray', 12 oz.

• 'Raley's Family Grilled Chicken Penne Alfredo', 36 oz.

• 'Raley's Grilled Chicken Breast with Mashed Potato and Gravy' 14 oz.

• 'Taylor Farms Snack Pot Penne Alfredo', 10.75 oz.

• 6.25 lb cases of. 'Taylor Farms Broccoli Crunch Salad Kit' bearing 'case code' 10203140

• 6.25 lb cases of 'Taylor Farms Broccoli Crunch Kit' bearing 'case code' 10210070

• 6.25 lb cases of 'SYSCO Broccoli Crunch Kit' bearing 'case code' 10203125

Each box bears the establishment number 'P-34013' or 'EST. 34013' inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced between Feb. 6, 2011 and Feb. 23, 2011 with sell by dates between Feb. 7, 2011 and Mar. 7, 2011. The products were shipped to retail distribution centers in Ariz., Calif., Colo., Ore., and Wash.

Broccoli salad mixes may contain broccoli, red onion, bacon bits, raisins, sunflower seeds and dressing. These salad mixes were only available for sale through deli counters, and while they are no longer available for sale consumers may still have them in their homes.

FSIS has not received any consumer complaints or reports of illness at this time.
