Salmonella outbreak, mislabeled food and unsafe levels of lead prompt food recalls
Grocery shoppers, beware: a number of recalls have been announced in recent days on seafood, crackers and canned beef with gravy.
Shoppers should be on the lookout for some products from Northeast Seafood Products (which has distributed seafood products linked to a salmonella outbreak), Simple Mills (which is warning consumers of a packaging mistake that could lead to severe allergic reactions) and Crider Foods (which issued a recalled for canned beef with gravy after discovering it may have been contaminated with unsafe levels of lead).
Health officials urge consumers who have purchased any of these recalled products to throw them away or return them.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced a food safety alert Friday related to a salmonella outbreak linked to seafood.
Seafood distributed by Denver, Colorado-based Northeast Seafood Products has been recalled. The products had been sold at seafood counters in Albertsons, Safeway and Sprouts grocery stores in Colorado and include haddock, monkfish, bone-in trout, grouper, red snapper, red rock cod, ocean perch, pacific cod, halibut, coho salmon, Atlantic salmon portions, lane snapper, tilapia, all-natural salmon fillet, Pacific sole, and farm-raised striped bass.
