TORONTO, ONTARIO--(CCNMatthews
- March 26, 2007) -
NOT FOR RELEASE OVER US
NEWSWIRE SERVICES
Media outlets have reported conflicting and incorrect information,
including that Menu Foods has expanded its recall to include all products
produced.
To clarify, late last week, the US Food and Drug Administration (the
"FDA") and various media outlets reported that some retailers
still had recalled product on their shelves. In response, Menu Foods issued
instructions for retailers to remove from their shelves all cuts and gravy
products of the flavours listed on the recall
list, regardless of the dates produced. For many retailers, this had
already been completed as their standard operating procedure.
This step did not expand the recall but provided the remaining retailers
with an efficient means of withdrawing the recalled product. The full
recall list is available at www.menufoods.com.
In addition, Menu Foods reiterated that there is no evidence of any
problems in any products manufactured at either its Streetsville, Ontario,
facility or its North Sioux City,
South Dakota, facility.
Furthermore, there is no evidence of problems in any of the products not on
the recall list produced at Emporia, Kansas, or Pennsauken,
New Jersey.
