The US Department of Agriculture announced a recall today for poultry and beef. Some media outlets reported that as much of a quarter-million pounds of food were involved, but the official announcement only states that 6,970 pounds are involved. The meat was processed by Gourmet Boutique and is marked as such.
The recalled products bear the production code of “GBD 08058″ on the package. The meat and poultry products were produced on Feb. 26 and 27, 2008, and were sent to retail establishments in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Wisconsin, and distribution centers in New York.
This food is in consumer-sized packs and includes USDA approval seals. There is a PDF series of images available at the USDA site. No illnesses have been linked to the meat although a risk of listerios exists.
