Salmonella Risk Causes Recall of Sam’s Club Gyro Kits
Meal Kits Sold at Sam’s Club Recalled Because of Salmonella Concerns
The recalled meal kits were distributed to Sam’s Club warehouses nationally.
Fresh Creative Foods is recalling The Beef & Lamb Gyro Sandwich Express Meal Kit because of possible Salmonella contamination. The recalled product contains cucumbers in the tzatziki sauce included in the kit. These cucumbers were recalled by Baloian Farms of Arizona Co. (Baloian) because of possible Salmonella.
Food contaminated with Salmonella bacteria does not usually look, smell, or taste spoiled. Anyone can become sick with a Salmonella infection. Infants, children, seniors, and people with weakened immune systems are at higher risk of serious illness because their immune systems are fragile. Anyone who has eaten any of the recalled meal kits and developed symptoms of Salmonella infection should seek medical attention. Sick people should tell their doctors about the possible exposure to Salmonella bacteria because special tests are necessary to diagnose salmonellosis. Salmonella infection symptoms can mimic other illnesses, frequently leading to misdiagnosis.
Consumers who have purchased these kits should not consume any part of the kits.

Cinnamon Powder Recalled for Lead Risk
Voluntary Recall of 4oz. Super Cinnamon Powder Due to Lead Contamination Risk
No illnesses have been reported as of 11/18/2024.
IHA Beverage of Commerce, CA is recalling Super Cinnamon Powder 4oz, because it has the potential to be contaminated with elevated levels of lead. This recall is being initiated as a result of routine sampling by the Arkansas Department of Health which revealed that the finished products contained elevated levels of lead. The company has ceased the distribution of the product as they continue their investigation as to what caused the problem.
Product was distributed mostly through California retail stores and a few stores across the US. Product was NOT sold online.
Short term exposures to very low levels of lead may not elicit any symptoms. It is possible that increased blood lead levels may be the only apparent sign of lead exposure. Additional signs and symptoms of lead exposure are more likely with acute exposure to higher levels of lead or chronic exposure to lead. While lead can affect nearly every bodily system, its effects depend upon the amount and duration of lead exposure and age/ body weight. If a child is exposed to enough lead for a protracted period of time (e.g., weeks to months) permanent damage to the central nervous system may occur. This can result in learning disorders, developmental defects, and other long-term health problems. For adults, chronic lead exposure is associated with kidney dysfunction, hypertension, and neurocognitive effects.
Consumers who have purchased Super Cinnamon Powder 4oz are urged to discard in the trash or return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 323-724-8551 Monday to Friday 10AM – 4PM PST

Listeria Causes Recall of Ready-to Eat Meat & Poultry
Ready-to-Eat Meat and Poultry Products Recalled After Testing Finds Listeria
This recall has been expanded to include almost 2 million more pounds of products. The link on this post has been updated to view the expanded article
BrucePac of Durant, OK, is recalling 9,986,245 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry products that may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The problem was discovered after FSIS performed routine product testing of finished product containing RTE poultry products produced by BrucePac and confirmed those products were positive for Listeria monocytogenes. Subsequent FSIS investigation identified BrucePac RTE chicken as the source of the Listeria monocytogenes.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be available for use in restaurants, institutions, and other establishments. These other establishments may have used affected meat and poultry in RTE products that may be on store shelves or in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. The ready-to-eat meat and poultry items were produced from June 19, 2024, to Oct. 8, 2024. These products were shipped to other establishments and distributors nationwide then distributed to restaurants and institutions.
