Salmonella recall on brands expanded
The federal Food and Drug Administration has announced an expanded recall of Uncle Chen and Lian How brand products that may be contaminated with salmonella. The voluntary recall now includes sauces, oils and oil blends, in addition to dry spices sold under the Uncle Chen and Lian How brands.
The federal Food and Drug Administration has announced an expanded recall of Uncle Chen and Lian How brand products that may be contaminated with salmonella. The products were distributed in several states including Washington.
The voluntary recall by Union International Food Company of Union City, Calif., now includes sauces, oils and oil blends, in addition to dry spices sold under the Uncle Chen and Lian How brands.
The FDA said the expanded recall is based on an investigation into the food-borne-illness outbreak beyond the recall announced last month by the company of its dry- spice products. A complete list can be found at http://www.fda.gov/oc/po/firmrecalls/unioninternational_list3.html.
The sauces, oils and oil blends being recalled were distributed under the Uncle Chen and Lian How brands to retailers, wholesalers, distributors and restaurants in Washington, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Wisconsin.
Products were sold in containers ranging from 6 ounces to 1 gallon.
The FDA said the company has stopped production and distribution of the products as the investigation continues. So far, 57 cases of Salmonella rissen illness have been reported, mostly in the western part of the country.
