A ground beef recall for more than 545,699 pounds of meat has been expanded to states from North Carolina to Maine on fears of E. coli contamination.

Fairbanks Farms of Ashville, N.Y., expanded its ground beef recall on Monday after learning packages of its meat produced between Sept. 14 and 16 may have been distributed to more states than first thought. The recalled ground beef was sold in Acme, BJ's, Ford Brothers, Giant Food Stores, Price Chopper, Shaw's and Trader Joe's.

Gourmet Boutique has issued a recall of 286,000 lbs of deli luncheon meat for possible contamination by listeria. The meats were used in sandwich wraps and other ready-to-eat products. The USDA has classified this recall as Class I, "reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death," or what I would call "pretty damn serious."

The list of potentially affected wraps and other ready-to-eat products from the company are listed here.

We're not really getting sicker from food

How many recalls have we seen this year that were due to food being contaminated by bacteria? I know I've lost count. I remember the peanut butter, Costco chicken curry and the Malt-o-Meal cereal, oh, and the cantaloupes. Other than that, it's a blur. It seems like we've seen more recalls this year than ever.

According to the CDC, though, we're not getting sicker. Their concern is that we're not getting less sick anymore. The scientists who collect this information say the number of cases of food borne illnesses were on the decline until 2004, but they've leveled off since then. Take a look at this article for more information on what bugs are out there this year.

As glad as I am to hear that the level of illnesses aren't going up, I wonder if we can really expect them to go down very much. It's not that I have any basis to make a judgment, it just seems that some bacteria is always going to be popping up in our industrialized food processing system. Hopefully, I am wrong.

Your Daily Food Safety Terror Alert: RED for Red Curry Chicken at Costco

This is a recall of bulk proportions.

Costco has issued a voluntary recall on 10,368 pounds of frozen Red Curry Chicken & Jasmine Rice from Discover Cuisine. The frozen food packages are suspected to be contaminated with Listeria. According to Costco, "Each package bears the Canadian establishment number 'Est. 302' inside the Canadian Food Inspection Agency mark of inspection as well as a 'Best By' date of '12 18 08.' The item number '2880' also appears by the UPC code on the package."

No illnesses have been reported yet, but Listeria can cause headaches, neck stiffness, and spontaneous abortions. Those people with weakened immune systems are most susceptible to infection.

So check your freezers, and if you'd like more information, call this number, provided by Costco: (800) 774-2678.

Whole Foods recalling ice cream, again

Whole Foods has just put out a recall on its Whole Treat Organic Vanilla Ice Cream Bars Dipped in Chocolate due to undisclosed almonds. This isn't the first time Whole Foods has recalled an ice cream product due to undisclosed ingredients. Last August they issued a recall on their frozen chocolate and vanilla soy products that contained undeclared milk. In the past they have had other food recalls such as when jars labeled peanut butter actually contained almond butter, as well as a few others over the years.

I'm glad that companies are quick to make food recalls for allergies and possible contamination, such as the spinach scare of the last few months. People with allergies, young children, the elderly, those who are pregnant , and people with immune system problems should keep track of food recalls to stay safe. To stay abreast of allergy related food recalls you can visit the Food Allergy website and the Kids With Food Allergies website. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration site has up to date info on all types of food and drug recalls.
