Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported.
Plain-English summary
Buddy's Kitchen, Inc. is recalling approximately 212,746 pounds of ready-to-eat pork and chicken products that contain vegetables. The recall was initiated because the vegetables used in the production of these items may be contaminated with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. The affected products were produced between October 19, 2017, and October 9, 2018, and bear establishment number P-4226 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The specific products subject to the recall include bulk cases of Provolone and Roasted Peppers Omelet with Sicilian Potatoes & Italian Chicken Sausage, Chicken Chorizo & Montamore Scramble, and Pancetta Style Crumble & Smoked Fontina Scramble. These items were shipped to institutional locations in Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, and New Jersey. The issue was discovered on October 16, 2018, when the company received notification that its vegetable supplier was recalling vegetables due to the same contamination concerns.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, while Listeria monocytogenes can cause listeriosis, a serious infection that primarily affects older adults, persons with weakened immune systems, and pregnant women. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
