MRSA Notes

Speaking of enterotoxins:

Thumann’s, a N.J. firm, is recalling approximately 664 pounds of boneless prosciutto ham that may contain Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin, which may induce nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.

Each label bears the establishment number ”507” inside the Canadian seal of inspection and the lot code ”00634.” The product was shipped across the United States.

Consumers with questions may contact Thumann’s purchasing director, Warren Lisa, at 201-935-3636, ext. 384. Inquiries about food safety should go to the USDA Meat and Poultry hot line, 888-674-6854, which is available in English and Spanish, toll-free.
