Several potato products that may be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes have been pulled from the shelves of Giant Food and Stop & Shop supermarkets, the Associated Press reported.
The products are 20 oz. bags of Simply Potatoes Shredded Hash Browns, Simply Potatoes Homestyle Slices and Simply Potatoes Red Potato Wedges. The products, which have “use by” dates ranging from March 29 to April 3, 2009, were recalled by Northern Star Co., a subsidiary of food processor Michael Foods Inc.
Listeria monocytogenes bacteria can cause flu-like symptoms and can be especially dangerous for pregnant women and people with weakened immune systems.
No reports of illness or injuries related to the recalled potato products have been received by Quincy, Mass.-based Stop & Shop or by Landover, Md.-based Giant Food, the AP reported.
Customers who bought the products should throw out any unused portions and bring the receipts to their stores for a full refund, the companies said.
Well, another Øbama speech -
What does Wall Street (Investors) think of it?
DJIA 7,185.19 -165.75 Negative Change -2.25%
Every speech = another drop in the markets....
Since our Dear Leader does not like cold weather, couldn’t we send him for a LONG vacation to a nice remote Hawaiian Island. Maybe a speech break would let the markets recover a bit.
