Heartland Catfish Company, based in Itta Bena, Mississippi, has announced a recall of almost 70,000 pounds of catfish products due to possible contamination by leucomalachite green.
Waco, Texas-based Pilgrim's Pride Corp. has recalled more than 100,000 pounds of ready-to-eat breaded chicken patties that may be contaminated with rubber.
It’s an unfortunate fact that food recalls still occur too often. And with the FDA’s focus on ready-to-eat (RTE) foods, the dairy industry is no exception. For example, there have been more than 20 recalls of various types of cheeses due to Listeria monocytogenes concerns thus far in 2017.
