MINEOLA, N.Y., Nov 23, 2001 (AP Online via COMTEX) -- Pollio Italian Cheese Company announced a recall of certain Polly-O ricotta cheese packages and some food service ricotta products because of potential contamination from Salmonella bacteria. Pollio said the Department of Defense contacted the company and the New York Department of Agriculture and Markets when a sample of cheese tested positive for the bacteria. The recalled cheese, in 15 oz. and 3 lb. sizes, had the code date DEC-10 and was distributed through retail grocery stores and food service distributors. The recall also applies to 3 lb. foodservice products with the code date DEC-10 PD1. The states involved are Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Salmonella can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the products to date.

No Problem. All they have to do is accept returns only via the US Postal Service. They will irradiate it free of charge.

You should have met his sister, Auntie Biotic. I think she expired some years ago, after being bitten by a moose.

What
is the frequency, Kevin ?!!!
Oh. Sorry. I thought this was the Moose thread.

Pollio Italian Cheese Company Isn't the lesson here not to buy cheese from a company named Pollio?
Or, not to name a cheese company after a disease?

I thought I'd share a tasty recipe with all of you. The ingredients are simple and easy to obtain: Salt, Pepper, Herbs, A Moose Head....
Moose Head Cheese
by Frank Dufresne
Skin out the head, saving all cartilage like the ears and the nose and the lips. Chop into pot-sized chunks and boil until the flesh and cartilage come free. Take out the bones and excess water. Season the rest with salt, pepper, sage and other herbs to taste. Cook until right consistency reached, then pour in pan molds to cool. Then lock the doors to keep out the neighbors.

One thing we do know....If there is ever a Great Cheese Conspiracy, FR will be the first to discover it.

You should have met his sister, Auntie Biotic. Oh yas, I've heard that Auntie Biotic and Aunt Thrax didn't get along very well and that Aunt Thrax won the battle almost every time.
To: Revolting cat!
Well,
win is a relative term. Let us say that she had to
adapt.
By the way, since she seemed to pop up everywhere, and was always reading people's mail...around the neighborhood, we used to call her "Ann."
That is, until she took a powder.

Re # 31: I'd suggest locking the door
FIRST!
Aluminum foiling over the windows may be a good idea, too.
Also, if I may be so bold...never, never admitting you even know of such a thing.
Unless, of course, you're talking about cheeseless Moosehead Cheese.
