Gourmet Boutique Recall Information

May 3, 2008 - Gourmet Boutique, L.L.C., a Jamaica, New York firm, has recalled approximately 286,320 pounds of fresh and frozen meat and poultry products that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. 

As is typical of USDA-FSIS announcements regarding food recalls, there is no information as to the specific food service companies and retailers that may have sold these products: “Recalled products were sent to food service and retail establishments nationwide.”  We have contacted FSIS regarding the need to provide consumers with more information.  There have been some murmurings in Washington regarding providing more information, but, not surprisingly, nothing has been done.

Below is a list of recalled products.  Because the USDA-FSIS likes to keep the names of food service companies and retailers wrapped in mystery, consumers who have purchased any ready-to-eat or pre-cooked chicken or turkey product (there is also one beef and one pork product) will need to go through this list to see if their purchased product is on the list. Because one of the brands involved is Archer Farms, which is only sold at Target stores, we do know that one of the stores involved in this recall is Target.

The problem was discovered through microbiological sampling by FSIS and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of products subject to this recall because the incubation period for Listeria is generally at least 3 weeks and it can be as long as 70 days.
