Burrata

Fresca Italia Of Brisbane Is Recalling Burrata Fresca Italia of Brisbane, California is recalling Burrata as a result of a survey sampling conducted by the California Department of Food & Agriculture.  The agency’s survey revealed that Fresca Italia’s Burrata contained the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria.

Fresca Italia’s Burrata was distributed in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Southern California in retail stores and restaurants.  Fresca Italia’s Burrata weighs approximately 8.8 ounces and is packaged in a white and green plastic wrapper with the manufacturer’s name—“Caseificio Voglie di Latte”—and the product name—“Burrata.”  The recalled batch is labeled with the expiration date of 24/5/2008.  Fresca Italia has immediately halted further distribution of the Burrata product.

Listeriosis is a type of food poisoning generated by the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria and is dangerous to the elderly, pregnant women, newborns, those with chronic medical conditions, people with HIV, or those who are undergoing chemotherapy.  Most people experience mild flu-like symptoms—fever, muscle aches, nausea, or diarrhea.  In serious cases, the disease spreads to the nervous system, causing headaches, stiff neck, and convulsions.  In pregnant women, Listeriosis can result in miscarriage or stillbirth.  Listeria lives in soil, stream water, sewage, plants, and food and can easily contaminate dairy and beef products; Listeria thrives in cold environments.

Listeria Has Been The Focus Of Outbreaks

This year, Listeria has been the focus of a number of outbreaks, including three cases in North Carolina linked to soft cheeses and an outbreak at Massachusetts’ Whittier Farms dairy where four people died and more were sickened.  In Washington, the Ca Rem #1 Ice Cream, SeaTac recalled popsicles for contamination; the Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) alerted the public to avoid consuming smoked pork and beef bratwurst produced by J&B Meats; Meijer Inc. of Grand Rapids, Michigan, pulled 2,184 pounds of frozen entrees; and Stop and Shop recalled four types of prepared chicken.  Raw milk from Piney Ridge dairy farm and Clark and Elaine Duncan’s farm was contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes in Pennsylvania.  Recently, the Rhode Island Department of Health issued a warning about soy sprouts infected with Listeria sold under the Chang Farms label.  The Gourmet Boutique of Queens, New York recalled about 286,000 pounds of fresh and frozen beef, pork, and poultry products that may be contaminated.

Earlier last month, the Georgia Department of Agriculture discovered Listeria monocytogenes in a sample of Bright Water Smoked Salmon & Cheese Spread.  Also, R&R Alsatian Sausage and Products recalled some of its beef jerky products due to a possible Listeria contamination, according to the Department of State Health Services in Texas.  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) directed Hope Food Supply Inc., a Pasadena, Texas, food processor, to shut down and immediately recall all products manufactured from its Texas facility since 2007 due to possible food contaminant risks following Hope Food’s failure to follow a previous consent decree.

Last week, the FDA announced another food recall for Listeria contamination. Amish Macaroni Salad was recalled and also, recently, Supreme Cuts, LLC voluntarily recalled 87 cases of Off the Cob Fresh Kernel Corn in 12-ounce bags for possible Listeria monocytogenes contamination.

My name is Shantasia and I was recommended to PWL back in may of 2020 an let me tell you this, my experience with PWL was great! Not only did they take good care of my daughter and I but they didn’t give up until we gotten what we deserved. I’d settled a year later and it was definitely worth it. Had also recommended two people to work with them on their cases during the time of my case and I hope everything works out in their favors. In my time working with them I’d spoke with a couple of people there but Josephine was my favorite she really did her thing for us and made us a priority and I really loved that! If you’re looking to get justice for any accidents I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you call Parker Waichman Law. Promise you won’t be disappointed! :)
