Agency Publication Date: March 7, 2012

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 8,354 units of various soy products, including Soy Beginnings and NexSoy low-fat soy flour and bulk soy meal, are being recalled. This recall was initiated after routine testing by the manufacturer discovered the presence of Salmonella bacteria in the finished products. These products were distributed in several U.S. states and internationally to Canada and Japan between September 2011 and August 2013.

Risk

The product may be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. This recall is particularly critical as these soy products are intended for further processing and could cross-contaminate facilities or be used in products without a sufficient kill step for bacteria.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your inventory for Soy Beginnings Non-GMO Low-Fat Soy Flour in 40 lb bags or 1500 lb totes (Recall #V-051-2012).
  2. Check your inventory for NexSoy Certified Non-GMO Low-Fat Soy Flour in 40 lb bags distributed by Spectrum Foods (Recall #V-052-2012).
  3. Identify if you have Bulk Soy Meal in .08 ton loads (Recall #V-053-2012).
  4. Stop using these soy products immediately and ensure they are quarantined to prevent them from being used in further food or feed processing.
  5. Return the affected soy products to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Thumb Oilseed Producers' Cooperative for disposal and return instructions.
  6. For additional information or questions, contact the FDA at 1-888-463-6332.
