WASHINGTON, Nov. 5, 2010 - APPA Fine Foods, a Corona, Calif., establishment, is recalling
approximately 7,325 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken pasta salad products because they contain cilantro
that may be contaminated with Salmonella, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The following products are subject to this recall: [View Labels (PDF Only)]
- 12 oz. packages of "Spicy THAI STYLE PASTA SALAD"
The chicken pasta products were produced on Oct. 25, 27, and 29, 2010. The packages bear the
establishment number "P-21030" within the USDA Mark of Inspection as well as a "USE BY" date
of Oct. 31 or Nov. 1-6, 2010.
FSIS learned of the problem from the company as a result of an ongoing investigation into a cilantro recall issued
by an FDA-inspected establishment. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with the consumption of
these ready-to-eat chicken pasta salad products.
The ready-to-eat chicken pasta salad products were distributed to distribution centers that sell to a single retail
chain in California. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on FSIS' website at

Consumer with questions about the recall may contact the company's Insurance Coordinator, Denise McGrath, at (951) 278-2772 ext. 8113.
Media with questions about the recall may contact the company's President, Thom Rindt, at (951) 278-2772.
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.
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 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.
