According to the voicemail release by the company, while a single positive test for a contaminant usually leads to a limited recall, just covering a few days’ worth of pet food production, Natura voluntarily recalled everything produced more than a week ago. After that point the company says it implemented additional product testing procedures.

“We are taking the additional precautionary measure,” the company announced in the audio press release, adding “our first priority is the wellbeing of the pets we serve.”

If your animal is showing symptoms of stomach distress, seek immediate treatment for your pet.

The recall includes all Innova, California Natural, EVO, Healthwise, Mother Nature, and Karma branded dry pet food and biscuit treats with expiration dates prior to June 10, 2014. The expiration date appears in different places on the various products. To find out where to look for your pet food’s expiration date, see the illustrated guide on the Natura website.

The recall is for Sunsprout and SproutsAlive brand alfalfa sprouts, which are produced by Sunsprout Natural Foods in Brantford, Ont.

The affected products were sold in Ontario, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador but could be national, the CFIA stated. The recall was initially announced for Ontario on June 12.

The sprouts were sold in 140-gram packages with a best before date of June 13.

No illnesses have been reported.

The NC Department of Health and Human Services’ Epidemiology Team is writing the final report and once that is completed Cumberland County Health Director Buck Wilson will release it.

The product has an estimated shelf life of 10 days. The carton lot number affected by the recall is 13269. The cartons in which the clamshell packages were distributed are labeled “Alderman Farms.”

The product comes in a 25lb white wax box with a logo that says “JAMMIN PEPPERS”.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The potential for contamination was noted after routine testing by the FDA revealed the presence of Salmonella in some 25 lb boxes of Thai peppers.

Production of the product has been suspended while FDA and the company continue their investigation as to the source of the problem.

The number of ill persons identified in each state is as follows: California (1), Minnesota (2), New York (1), North Dakota (1), Texas (2), and Wisconsin (1).

No ill persons have been hospitalized. No deaths have been reported.

Collaborative investigation efforts of state, local, and federal public health and regulatory agencies indicate that tahini sesame paste distributed by Krinos Foods, LLC of Long Island City, New York is the likely source of this outbreak.

During routine product testing at a retail store, the Michigan Department of Agriculture isolated Salmonella Montevideo from Krinos brand tahini sesame paste.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration isolated Salmonella Mbandaka from imported tahini sesame paste collected from shipments arriving in the United States for distribution by Krinos Foods.

On April 28, 2013, Krinos Foods recalled its tahini sesame paste because of potential contamination with Salmonella.

On May 9, 2013, the recall was expanded to include additional expiration dates.

The recalled lots have expiration dates from January 1, 2014 to June 8, 2014 and from October 16, 2014 to March 15, 2015.

Serotyping of the isolates indicated that the outbreak strain was Salmonella (assigned with the antigenic code “I:4,5,12:i:-”.  Salmonella has also been found in cooked, left over, chorizo.
