New Era Canned Vegetable Recall Expansion
The affected New Era products are large institutional-sized cans, weighing between six and seven pounds, of various types of beans, blackeye peas, and asparagus.
The potentially contaminated products are marketed under ten different brand names:
- Classic Sysco
- Code
- Frosty Acres Restaurant’s Pride Preferred
- GFS
- Kitchen Essentials
- Monarch Heritage
- Necco
- New Era
- Nugget
- Reliance Sysco
A complete list of specific brands, products, and lot codes subject to the New Era recalls can be found at http://www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/newera.html.
If you have any of the recalled canned vegetables, do not eat them. It is even dangerous to touch them. The FDA has provided the following instructions for disposing of the recalled New Era canned vegetables:
When disposing of these products, double-bag the cans in plastic bags. Make sure the bags are tightly closed, then place in a trash receptacle for non-recyclable trash outside of the home. Restaurants and institutions should ensure that such products are only placed in locked receptacles that are not accessible to the public.
Any food that may contain the affected products should be disposed of carefully. Even tiny amounts of the C. botulinum toxin can cause serious illness when ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the eye or a break in the skin. Skin contact should be avoided as much as possible, and hands should be washed immediately after handling the food.
