The Food and Drug Administration has again expanded a recall of Michigan-based New Era Canning Co. products, which could be contaminated by a bacterium that produces a toxin causing botulism.
The recall involves large, institutional-sized cans, weighing between 6 pounds and 7 pounds, of various types of beans, black-eyed peas and asparagus.
No illnesses have been reported to the FDA, but the agency says consumers should remain alert and throw away recalled products marketed under brand names Classic Sysco, Code, Frosty Acres Restaurant’s Pride Preferred, GFS, Kitchen Essentials, Monarch Heritage, Necco, New Era, Nugget and Reliance Sysco.
Processors other than New Era may be packing these brands, but only products packed by New Era are subject to the recall.
A complete list of specific brands, products and lot codes subject to the New Era recalls can be found at www.fda.gov/oc/opacom/hottopics/newera.html .
