Earlier this week, the Food & Drug Administration announced a recall for certain taco products manufactured in St. Paul, Minnesota that might be contaminated with listeria. According to the notice, the products were distributed across the country and mostly include platters, trays, and dips.
The potential contamination was first discovered when J&J Distributing was conducting routine testing “on its equipment and found that one utensil tested positive for listeria.” Fortunately, no illnesses have been reported. Unfortunately, many of the affected products were sold at numerous retailers, from California to New York and Michigan to Florida. Additionally, they were sold under many different brand names, including “Haug, Fresh Thyme, Tastebuds, Earthgrown, Caribou, and Kwik Trip.”
According to the notice, the following products are included in the recall:
- Haug Taco Tray 16oz
