FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 8, 2012 -Menno Beachy of Cresco, Iowa, is recalling one pint containers of Certified Organic Grape Tomatoes because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail, or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems.  Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain.  In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e. infected aneurysms), endocarditis, and arthritis.

A food distributor in Minnesota distributed 15 cases containing 12 one-pint containers of the affected grape tomatoes to retail stores located in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan between 7/26/12-8/6/12.

The grape tomatoes are packaged in square-shaped clear plastic clamshell containers labeled as Menno Beachy Certified Organic Grape Tomato, UPC number 044419310176, with a net weight of one pint.  There are no lot numbers or expiration dates on the clamshell label.  The clamshell packages are distributed in cases that are printed with a lot number.  The case lot numbers affected by the recall are MB725GT3, MB725GT8, and MB725GT0.

No illnesses have been associated with the product.

Menno Beachy became aware of the contamination after the Minnesota Department of Agriculture collected a sample of the grape tomatoes located at the Minnesota distributor.  The sample of lot number MB725GT0 found the grape tomatoes to be contaminated with Salmonella.  Menno Beachy is investigating the source of the contamination.

Consumers who have the affected product should either discard it in the trash or return it to the point of purchase.  Consumers with questions can leave a message on Menno Beachy’s voice mailbox at 563-203-4671 and he will return your call.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – August 8, 2012 – Tomales Bay Foods, Inc., Petaluma, CA, a cheese distribution company, is recalling all partial wheels of two cheeses distributed by Tomales Bay Foods Inc., due to an abundance of caution because of possible contamination by Listeria monocytogenes, 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 recalled cheese was distributed to restaurants and retail stores in California, North Carolina, and Florida, between June 25th and July 27, 2012. The following products are being recalled in full cooperation with the US FDA. This recall only involves a total of 133 lbs of cheese which was distributed as partial wheels from Tomales Bay Foods Inc.

Tomales Bay Foods Inc distributed PARTIAL WHEELS of:
Shepherd’s Way; Big Woods Blue, make date: 7/19/2011 -7/27/2011
Tumalo Farms; Pondhopper  pack  date 6-28-2012


No illnesses have been reported. The bacteria were discovered during the company’s routine testing and as a result of a sampling program by the State of California Department of Food and Agriculture. Only the partial wheels sold through the Tomales Bay Foods Inc. facility are affected.

Customers who have purchased either cheese should get in touch with the place of purchase for a full refund. But all should know that there is a very limited scope of distribution of these partial wheels by Tomales Bay Foods.

Please fell free to call with questions. Contact Tomales Bay Foods Inc. at (866) 249-7833, 8am – 5pm PT and mention “August Cheese Recall”.
