Announcement
Inspired Organics, LLC has issued a voluntary recall of Organic Almond Butter due to potential contamination of Listeria monocytogenes. Listeria monocytogenes
is an organism, which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections
in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened
immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term
symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea,
abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages
and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The product was distributed exclusively by Lipari Foods. LLC in Warren, Michigan to food service and retail stores throughout Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The affected product can be identified by:
This was brought to our attention after product testing initiated by Inspired Organics LLC returned positive test results for Listeria monocytogenes
contamination. Inspired Organics initiated this testing out of an
abundance of caution following a previous recall of a similar product
which had also tested positive for contamination of Listeria monocytogenes
through testing conducted by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and
Rural Development (MDARD). We are working closely with the
manufacturer, MDARD, and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to
understand the cause of the situation and ensure that all affected
product has been pulled from commerce. No illnesses have been reported
to date.
Lipari Foods began shipping the product on October 31, 2018.
