WASHINGTON, April. 4, 2009 - EDS Wrap and Roll Foods LLC., a Hayward, Calif., firm, is recalling approximately
12,460 pounds of frozen chicken egg roll products because they contain black pepper spice products that may be linked
to a multi-state outbreak of salmonellosis, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
announced today.
The following products are subject to recall:
- 9.38 lb. packages of EDS Wrap and Roll Foods LLC "Chicken Egg Roll" which contains
100 pieces of 1.5 ounce chicken egg rolls
- 18.75 lb. packages of EDS Wrap and Roll Foods LLC "Chicken
Egg Roll" which contains 100 pieces of 3.0 ounce chicken egg rolls
The frozen chicken egg rolls were produced between July 28, 2008
and March 27, 2009 and bear case codes "80210 through 80365" or
"90001 through 90089." The packages bear the establishment number
"P-20350" within the USDA Mark of Inspection printed on the side of the packages.
FSIS learned of the problem from the California Department of Public Health as a result of an ongoing
investigation into the dry spice recall announced by FDA. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses
associated with the consumption of these frozen chicken egg rolls.
The chicken egg roll products were distributed to restaurants and institutions in California.
Consumer with questions about the recall may contact company Managing Director Brian Ho at
(510) 266-0888, and news media with questions may contact company General Manager Ide Ng at
(510) 266-0888.
Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses.
Salmonella infections can be life-threatening, especially to those with weak immune systems, such as infants, the elderly,
and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy. The most common manifestations of salmonellosis are diarrhea,
abdominal cramps, and fever within eight to 72 hours. Additional symptoms may be chills, headache, nausea and vomiting
that can last up to seven days.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available
24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry
Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from
l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available
24 hours a day.
