Saint Paul Pioneer Press - 10/20/2018

Oct. 20--A frozen food and packing company in Burnsville is recalling more than 212,000 pounds of ready-to-eat pork and chicken products containing vegetables that might be contaminated with salmonella and listeria, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said Friday.

Buddy's Kitchen Inc. is recalling the ready-to-eat items that were produced on various dates between Oct. 19, 2017, and Oct. 9, 2018. These products are subject to recall:

* 7.95-lb. bulk cases containing 16 pieces of "Provolone and Roasted Peppers Omelet with Sicilian Potatoes & Italian Chicken Sausage (Bulk Pack)," with lot codes 01/02/18, 01/15/18 and 05/09/18, and case code 70578.

* 11.02-lb. bulk cases containing 24 pieces of "Chicken Chorizo & Montamore Scramble," with lot codes 04/30/18 and 07/09/18, and case code 70658.

* 9.52-lb. bulk cases containing 24 pieces of "Chicken Chorizo & Montamore Scramble," with lot codes 10/30/17, 11/04/17, 12/05/17, 12/19/17, 01/16/18, 02/22/18 and 04/24/18, and case code 70630.

The problem was discovered Tuesday, when Buddy's was notified by a supplier that vegetables used in the ready-to-eat products were being recalled due to salmonella and listeria concerns.

The USDA said no adverse reactions to the products have been reported. Those concerned with an illness or injury should contact their health care provider. Consumers who purchased the products are urged not to eat them.

Salmonellosis, among the most common bacterial foodborne illnesses, can cause symptoms like abdominal cramps and fever. Listeria can cause fever, headache, muscle aches, loss of balance and convulsions, among other symptoms.
