R.T.E. chicken recalled due to the presence of potential contamination

in recall

Comments

Products Recalled:

The two products recalled by Connoisseur’s Kitchen was 2-lb. box packages of Spice mantra chicken korma and spice mantra butter chicken with lot code 220803-406US and 220803-400US

Problem: The USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that Connoisseur’s Kitchen recalled about 880 pounds of frozen ready-to-eat (R.T.E.) chicken products which were launched on 7^th august 2022, due to possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The issue was noted when the Canadian Food Inspection Agency notified FSIS about a product being linked to a sample that tested positive for the Listeria monocytogenes. According to F.D.A, the Listeria monocytogenes are considered to be pathogenic disease-causing bacteria that can withstand refrigeration and even other preservative measures.

Scientific Evidence: Listeria monocytogenes are pathogens potential to cause listeriosis and can last for several days to weeks. The symptoms can range from fever, headache, and nausea in the mild range to confusion, neck stiffness, loss of balance and convulsions at some severe stages. The previous year Tyson company R.T.E. meat product caused two people to become severely ill and was found at the centre for disease control and prevention (C.D.C.) due to listeriosis

What does regulation clarify:

The meat and poultry product contamination and adulteration come under the federal meat inspection act (FMIA)and poultry products inspection act (PPIA). 21 U.S.C. 453(g) and 21 U.S.C. 601(m) state exactly about contamination of poultry and meat products under various conditions and its legal regularities if found under actionable conditions.
Poultry and meat are to be maintained in proper sanitary conditions, and contamination of such bacterias as Listeria monocytogenes, which have harmful impacts on health, are to be avoided since they are prone to microbial infections very easily and can pass on to the consumers very rapidly.
