Listeria Scare Spurs Recall of Frankfurters
A North Carolina food packaging company has voluntarily recalled about 15,000 pounds of frankfurters that may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, the U.S. Agriculture Department said Monday.
Curtis Packing Co. of Greensboro, N.C., recalled 12-ounce packages of Curtis franks, made with pork and beef, and 1-pound packages of Beef Master franks. The recalled products have a sell-by date of July 3 and bear “Est. 2642” inside the packaging labels.
The food products were produced on May 4 and distributed to stores in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Alabama, Tennessee and Florida.
Bottle Presented Danger
About 335,000 bottles of Aqua Mist Windshield Washer Fluid are being recalled because they are not childproof and the methanol can cause blindness and death if ingested, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said recently.
The recall covers the 1-gallon bottles with twist-off caps made by Filter Tech Inc., of Huntington, W.Va.
Speedway Superamerica and other automotive stores in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia sold the windshield washer fluid from October 1999 through April 2000 for about $1.50.
Consumers can get more information by calling Filter Tech at (800) 834-5832.
Aqua Mist bottles with caps marked “while pushing down, turn, close tightly” are childproof and not being recalled.
