WASHINGTON, March 1, 2011 - 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:

Recommendations For People At Risk For Listeriosis
Wash hands with warm, soapy water before and after handling raw meat and poultry for at least 20 seconds. Wash cutting boards, dishes and utensils with hot, soapy water. Immediately clean spills.
Keep raw meat, fish and poultry away from other food that will not be cooked. Use separate cutting boards for raw meat, poultry and egg products and cooked foods.
Do not eat hot dogs, luncheon meats, bologna or other deli meats unless reheated until steaming hot.
Do not eat refrigerated pâté, meat spreads from a meat counter or smoked seafood found in the refrigerated section of the store. Foods that don't need refrigeration, like canned tuna and canned salmon, are safe to eat. Refrigerate after opening.
Do not drink raw (unpasteurized) milk and do not eat foods that have unpasteurized milk in them.
Do not eat salads made in the store such as ham salad, chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad or seafood salad.
Do not eat soft cheeses such as Feta, queso blanco, queso fresco, Brie, Camembert cheeses, blue-veined cheeses and Panela unless it is labeled as made with pasteurized milk.
Use precooked or ready-to-eat food as soon as you can. Listeria can grow in the refrigerator. The refrigerator should be
40 °F or lower and the freezer 0 °F or lower. Use an appliance thermometer to check the temperature of your refrigerator.
