An ingredient used in certain lots of the product has the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella.
Garden of Life has requested that retailers remove the lots of Raw Meal from sale and that consumers check the lot number on their Raw Meal product and return any products involved in this recall to their point of purchase for a full refund.
After extensive testing of the product and its ingredients, and working in collaboration with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the manufacturer, suppliers and other third-party experts, the Company has now identified the likely source of Salmonella contamination to be Organic Moringa Leaf powder from a supplier used only in Raw Meal.
Because other Garden of Life products containing Moringa use different suppliers, only Raw Meal is exposed.
To prevent a recurrence of this issue, Garden of Life will remove Organic Moringa powder from Raw Meal and expects new Raw Meal products to be available in stores and through online retailers within the next few weeks.
International Foodsource issued a voluntary recall of various raw pistachios products due to possible Salmonella risk. The products were distributed to food service and retail stores nationall.
The recalled products are Bulk Raw Whole Pistachio 80% VP, Valued Naturals Raw Pistachio Kernels, IFS Club Bag Pistachio Raw Shelled 80% Wholes, and IFS Web Bulk Pistachio - Shelled 80% Whole.
This was brought to our attention by FDA after their contract testing laboratory analysis revealed the presence of Salmonella in one of the 19 retail 5oz bags of Valued Naturals Raw Pistachio Kernels, Lot 79249.
As a precaution, additional products are being recalled as they may be contaminated since they were packed from the master lot that came to our facility. We are working closely with FDA to determine the cause of this situation. ■
