Nestle Professional Recalls Ready-To-Eat Bacon Base Product
Nestle Professional North America, a Cleveland, Ohio establishment, is recalling approximately 6,000 pounds of a ready-to-eat (RTE) bacon base product that may be contaminated with Salmonella.
The packages of bacon base contain as an ingredient the specific Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein (HVP), which was previously recalled, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said.
Due to potential Salmonella contamination, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a recall of the HVP product on March 4, 2010.
Although the HVP has already been recalled, as announced by FDA, the bacon base product packages bear the USDA mark of inspection on the outside of the case. A recall of this product was warranted due to the determination that the HVP ingredient was added after Salmonella prevention steps were applied.
The product subjected to recall includes: 1lb plastic cups of 'Minor’s Bacon Base'. Each package contains code numbers '92815489', '93095489', or '93385489' and the case code '00 074826 08606 7-00 G 11003264'. Each case contains six cups and bears establishment number '1045' inside the USDA mark of inspection. The RTE product was produced on Oct 8, 2009, Nov 5, 2009, and Dec 4, 2009.
The RTE product was distributed nationwide to distributors and restaurants. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with the consumption of these products.
According to FDA’s March 4, 2010 release, FDA conducted an investigation after a customer of an FDA regulated firm reported finding Salmonella in the HVP ingredient. This resulted in the subsequent recall of the contaminated products.
