The HoneyBaked company is recalling 46,941 lbs of their turkey and ham products due to a concern that the meat could cause be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. The recall includes cooked, glazed and sliced ham and turkey, all of which was produced between September 5 and November 13. The meat in question was sold in and around the Toledo, Ohio area and was also distributed across the country through internet and catalog orders. There have been no reports of illness yet, but listeriosis primarily affects pregnant women, infants and the elderly, or those with preexisting health conditions. It can cause fever, vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty breathing and can trigger miscarriages and stillbirths, as well as opening the door for more serious diseases. It is most commonly found in unpasteurized milk and unpasteurized milk products (like some cheeses) and prepackaged deli meats and hot dogs.Posts with tag hams

Roughly 45 million turkeys are eaten each Thanksgiving, so it's not too surprising that we - and just about everyone else who writes about food - spend a lot of time talking about what we're doing with our turkeys for Thanksgiving and presenting alternatives to the traditional roast bird. But not everyone is planning on having turkey at his or her Thanksgiving dinner. A few might opt for steaks or pasta dishes for the main meal and a handful choose Tofurkey, but the second most popular main course for this particular holiday is ham. HoneyBaked, which is one of the most popular sources for ham, says that they can sell 50 times more ham for Thanksgiving than the do during the average week. Even more than that is sold leading up to Christmas.
I'm still serving turkey on the big day in addition to all the usual sides. What's going to be on your Thanksgiving table?
