WASHINGTON, March 9, 2011 - Zweigle's Inc., a Rochester, N.Y., establishment, is recalling approximately
2,997 pounds of bologna products that may be contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The following products are subject to recall: [View Label (PDF Only)]
- Cases containing two 10-pound packages of "PRICE CHOPPER German Brand Bologna Made With Pork & Chicken."
Each 10-pound package bears establishment number "EST. 5333" within the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced
on Jan. 5, 2011, and packaged on Jan. 7, 2011. Each package also bears a white sticker including the package code "007" and
a use-by date "03/08/11." The products were shipped to a distribution center in New York. When available, the retail
distribution list(s) will be posted on FSIS' website at
www.fsis.usda.gov/
FSIS_Recalls/Open_Federal_Cases/index.asp.
After discovering a malfunction with its smokehouse, the plant recooked the bologna products and shipped them to the distribution
center. During routine inspection activities, FSIS discovered that the time delay in recooking the product created an environment
allowing potential production of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated
with consumption of these products. Individuals concerned about an illness should contact a physician.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps
are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall should contact the company's Chief Operating Officer, Kevin Salva, at (585) 546-1740.
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.
