WASHINGTON, July 22, 2011 – Bobby
Salazar’s Mexican Foods, a Fowler, Calif., establishment, is
recalling approximately 2,560 pounds of chopped beef products
produced without the benefit of federal inspection, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
announced today.
The following product is subject to recall [View
Label]:
- 16-lb. cases containing 4-lb. bags of “CARNE ASADA
CHOPPED BEEF &
TEXTURED WHEAT PROTEIN IN RED HOT SAUCE”
Each bag bears the establishment number “21269” inside the USDA
mark of inspection. The products were produced on April 19, 2011
and May 11, 2011, and shipped to a distributor and restaurants
in California for further distribution.
The problem was discovered by the FSIS Alameda District Office,
which determined that the company had produced the product
outside of normal hours of operation when inspectors would have
been present. FSIS and the company have received no reports of
adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone
concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify
recalling firms notify their customers (including restaurants)
of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the
product is no longer available to consumers.
Consumer and media questions regarding the recall should be
directed to the company quality assurance manager, Elena Juarez
at (559) 834-4558.
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.
