    Listeria concern triggers recall of 8.5 million pounds of frozen chicken

    Tyson Foods launched the recall out of an ‘abundance of caution’

    Check your freezer — Tyson Foods has recalled nearly 8.5 million pounds of frozen chicken because of concerns it might be contaminated with Listeria.

    The company, which is working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture on the recall, said it has not received any reports of anyone getting sick from eating the chicken. 

    “We’re committed to providing safe, healthy food that people rely on every day,” said Scott Brooks, senior vice president, food safety and quality assurance at Tyson Foods. “We are taking this precautionary step out of an abundance of caution and in keeping with our commitment to safety.” 

    The product in question was produced at a plant in Dexter, Missouri, between December 26, 2020 and April 13, 2021. It was distributed to foodservice and retail customers nationwide and Puerto Rico. 

    The product is being recalled because the company believes, from its own internal inspections, that it could have been exposed to Listeria monocytogenes, a harmful bacteria. The concern about potential contamination arose long after the product had shipped.

    Includes private label products

    The recall includes Tyson brand frozen, fully cooked products as well as private label products made for customers. Some of these products were sold to food service companies. The rest was distributed to grocery stores nationwide.

    If you have Tyson frozen chicken in your freezer, there are three things to look for:

    • A packaging location of Dexter, Mo.;

    • A packaging date that falls between Dec. 26, 2020 and April 13, 2021;

    • An establishment code that reads P-7089.

    The company said a list of retail stores that received the product will eventually be posted on USDA’s website at https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.

    As foodborne illnesses go, Listeria is not the most severe. However, it can be very serious for people who are pregnant or older than age 65, or who have weakened immune systems. Symptoms are similar to the flu and according to the Mayo Clinic, healthy people don’t always show symptoms of the infection.

      Recall Roundup: Nissan recalls over 47,000 Rogues over insecure child seats

      Tesla recalled hundreds of thousands of vehicles in China

      Parents who own a 2021 Nissan Rogue need to be aware of a recent recall that may endanger their young children. 

      The automaker is recalling over 47,000 of the vehicles because of a welding issue that could prevent child seats from being properly anchored. The child seat could become disengaged in the event of a crash or a sudden stop, which could lead to serious injury. The issue makes these Rogue vehicles non-compliant with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

      Nissan said it is working with dealers so that affected vehicles can be inspected. In cases where a problem is identified, the dealers will replace rear seatbacks at no cost to the vehicle owner. Recall notification letters will be sent to owners on July 30.

      Tesla recalls over 285,000 vehicles produced in China

      Over 285,000 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles produced at a Shanghai factory are being recalled because Chinese officials say a defect could cause them to accelerate unexpectedly.

      One industry consultant said a remedy is being implemented via a software patch and that vehicle owners will not need to return their cars to have them fixed. Tesla officials said they are working with Chinese officials to “strictly follow national regulations and keep improving our safety protection.”

      The recall has some greater significance because of previous claims made against Tesla when it comes to cases of unintended acceleration. Consumers previously petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to look into over a hundred consumer complaints of Tesla cars suddenly taking off on their own. Tesla previously stated that those claims were completely false.

      Ford recalls trucks because of wheels that may detach

      Over 17,000 model year 2021 Ford F-350s, F-450s, F-550s, and F-600s with dual rear wheels and front wheel hub extenders are being recalled because of an issue that could cause the wheels to detach. 

      Ford says the front wheel hub extenders in affected vehicles may be improperly attached to the front rotor hub assemblies. This could cause the separation of the wheels and wheel extenders from the trucks and increase the risk of a crash. 

      Ford says it is working with dealers so that affected vehicles can be inspected and have the front wheel hub extender nuts tightened. Owners are being advised not to drive their vehicles until the torque of the wheel extender nuts can be verified, and the fix will be applied at no cost. 

      Hand sanitizer bottles recalled for looking like drink containers

      Last week, we reported that Prairie Wolf Spirits Inc. was recalling its hand sanitizer products because the packaging too closely resembled water bottles. Apparently, that isn’t an isolated incident. 

      Ardil Commercial is also recalling its hand sanitizer products because they are packaged in bottles that look too much like drink containers. The hand sanitizer products come in four-ounce bottles under the brand name “Limar” and were sold nationwide. The company says it has received no reports of adverse events related to the recall.
