Texas Firm Recalls Boudin Products Due To Possible Temperature Abuse

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Carlton Foods is recalling approximately 25,764 pounds of vacuum-packed Richard’s brand Boudin (sausage-like) products sold in 12-oz, 16-oz, and 32-oz packages. These products were distributed to retail locations in Louisiana and Texas with 'Sell By' dates ranging from October 28, 2014, to December 16, 2014. The recall was initiated because the pre-cooked rice used in the boudin may have been held at unsafe temperatures during production.

Risk

The temperature abuse of the pre-cooked rice may have allowed for the growth of Bacillus cereus, which produces an emetic toxin. Consumption of contaminated food can cause nausea and vomiting within 30 minutes to six hours.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for Richard’s brand Boudin products with 'Sell By' dates between Oct. 28, 2014, and Dec. 16, 2014.
  2. Verify if the package bears establishment number 'EST. 1943' or 'EST. 961' inside the USDA mark of inspection (products with 'EST. 961' will also have 'NB' printed on the label).
  3. Do not consume any affected products; immediately dispose of them or return them to the place of purchase.
  4. If you have consumed these products and feel ill, contact a health care provider immediately.
  5. For questions regarding the recall, contact Randy Rust, President, at (830) 625-7583 ext. 109, or Tim Bruer, CEO, at (818) 415-7333.
  6. For additional food safety questions, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
