Buddy's Kitchen Pork and Chicken Products Recalled for Salmonella and Listeria

Agency Publication Date: October 19, 2018

Summary

Buddy's Kitchen, Inc. is recalling approximately 212,746 pounds of ready-to-eat pork and chicken scramble and omelet products. These items contain vegetables that may be contaminated with Salmonella and Listeria monocytogenes. The problem was discovered when the company was notified by its vegetable supplier that the ingredients used in these meals were part of a larger recall. The affected products were produced between October 19, 2017, and October 9, 2018, and were shipped to institutional locations.

Risk

Salmonella can cause diarrhea, fever, and stomach cramps, while Listeria monocytogenes can lead to listeriosis, a serious infection that is particularly dangerous for older adults, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems. No illnesses have been confirmed at this time.
