recall@rfordcantaloupe.comFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - September 14, 2011
- Jensen Farms, of Holly, CO is
voluntarily recalling their shipments of Rocky Ford whole cantaloupe because they have the potential to be contaminated with
Listeria. The company is working with the State of Colorado and the FDA to inform consumers of this recall. L. monocytogenes
is a bacterium that can contaminate foods and cause a mild non-invasive illness (called listerial gastroenteritis) or a severe,
sometimes life-threatening, illness (called invasive listeriosis). Persons who have the greatest risk of experiencing listeriosis
after consuming foods contaminated with L. monocytogenes are fetuses and neonates who are infected after the mother
is exposed to L. monocytogenes during pregnancy, the elderly, and persons with weakened immune systems.The whole cantaloupes in question were shipped
between July 29th, 2011 and September 10th 2011, and distributed to the following states: IL, WY, TN, UT, TX, CO, MN, KS,
NM, NC, MO, NE, OK, AZ, NJ, NY, PA. The whole cantaloupes have a green and white sticker that reads: Product of USA- Frontera
Produce-Colorado Fresh-Rocky Ford-Cantaloupe or a gray, yellow, and green sticker that reads: Jensen Farms-Sweet Rocky Fords.
If the whole cantaloupe is unlabeled, please contact your retail store for sourcing information. Jensen Farms is requesting
any consumer that many have one of these cantaloupes to please destroy the products.The recall involves only whole cantaloupe shipped by Jensen Farms, and no other commodities are involved.
Jensen Farms feels it is prudent to participate in the recall as the State of Colorado has stated (in their September 12th,

to the highest levels of food safety and maintains many third party safety audits, as we have for many years. We continually
look for ways to enhance our protocol,” said Ryan Jensen, partner at Jensen Farms. Jensen Farms is a 3rd generation
family farm of the Holly, Colorado community.Consumers with questions may contact Jensen Farms via email at recall@rfordcantaloupe.com or phone 1-800-267-4561 between the

WASHINGTON,
September 11, 2011 - Cargill Meat Solutions Corporation, a Springdale, Ark. establishment, is recalling approximately 185,000 pounds of ground turkey products that
may be contaminated with a strain of Salmonella Heidelberg, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety

a sample tested positive for the outbreak related strain of Salmonella, including the identical XbaI and BlnI PFGE
patterns matching the August 3 outbreak strain, at this time, neither FSIS nor the plant is aware of any illnesses associated
with product from the given dates. An FSIS incident investigation team collected samples at the establishment following the
previous recall. Today's recall occurred after a product sample collected on August 24 tested positive for the outbreak
strain of Salmonella Heidelberg. The firm is recalling product from August 30 based on pending positive match samples.
The products subject to recall are derived from bone-in parts. Check

illness
WASHINGTON, April 1, 2011 -Jennie-O Turkey Store, a Willmar, Minn. establishment, is recalling
approximately 54,960 pounds of frozen, raw turkey burger products that may be contaminated with Salmonella, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. As FSIS continues its investigation of illnesses
related to this recall, additional raw turkey products may be recalled. As a result, FSIS is alerting consumers to take extra
care when preparing all raw turkey products.
To prevent salmonellosis and other foodborne illnesses, wash hands with warm, soapy water
for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw meat and poultry, and cook poultry—including ground turkey burgers—to
165° F, as determined with a food thermometer.
The products subject to recall include: [View Label; PDF Only]
• 4-pound boxes of Jennie-O Turkey Store® "All
Natural Turkey Burgers with seasonings Lean White Meat". Each box contains 12 1/3-pound individually wrapped burgers.
A use by date of "DEC 23 2011" and an identifying lot code of "32710" through "32780" are
ink-jetted on the side panel of each box, just above the opening tear strip. Establishment
number "P-7760" is located within the USDA mark of inspection on the front of each box. The products were packaged
on Nov. 23, 2010 and were distributed to retail establishments nationwide.
The Wisconsin Department of Health and Family Services notified FSIS of a patient diagnosed
with salmonellosis caused by Salmonella serotype Hadar. The investigation expanded to include 12 people in Arizona,
California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Washington, and Wisconsin who also have been diagnosed
with Salmonella Hadar infection, with illnesses occurring between December 2010 and March 2011. Working in conjunction with
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state public health partners, FSIS determined that three of the patients
in Colorado, Ohio, and Wisconsin specifically reported eating this product prior to illness onset and hospitalization; the
last of these illnesses was reported on March 14, 2011.
As a result of the epidemiologic investigation, FSIS determined that there is a link between
the Jennie-O ground turkey products and this illness outbreak. FSIS is continuing to work with CDC, affected
state public health partners, and the company on the investigation. FSIS will continue to provide information
as it becomes available, including information about any related recall activity. Individuals concerned about
an illness should contact a physician.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their
customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.

this recall. It can be found on their website at www.jennieo.com/recall. Media with questions regarding the recall should contact Julie Craven, Vice President of Corporate Communications,
at media@j-ots.com or (507) 437-5345.
Consumption of food contaminated with Salmonella can cause salmonellosis, one of the most common bacterial foodborne
illnesses. Salmonella infections can be life-threatening, especially to those with weak immune systems, such
as infants, the elderly, and persons with HIV infection or undergoing chemotherapy. The most common manifestations
of salmonellosis are diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within six to 72 hours. Additional symptoms may be chills, headache,
nausea and vomiting that can last up to seven days.

Albuterol Recall 1-10-2011
On January 3, 2011, the FDA (US
Food and Drug Administration) MedWatch reported the Ritedose Corporation issued a voluntary recall of 0.083% Albuterol Sulfate
Inhalation Solution. This applies to premeasured 3 mL vials, and NOT to metered dose inhalers. The affected vials have the
wrong dosage concentration embossed on the vial. The correct concentration of 2.5 mg/3 mL is labeled on the protective primary
foil overwrap pouches packaged in shelf cartons, but the vials are mislabeled as containing 0.5 mg/3 mL. In the hospital setting, the vials are often not accompanied by the rest of the packaging.
If someone reads the incorrect concentration, he or she may upwardly adjust the volume, resulting in an administered
amount that is five times the recommended dose.
Health professionals, patients and
consumers are encouraged to watch for these affected products. If one of the affected products is found, it should be returned
immediately to where it was obtained (doctor’s office, pharmacy, etc).
Recalled Lot Numbers

(November 30, 2010) - - In response to a recall commenced by its supplier (Mincing Overseas Spice Company, Dayton, New Jersey),
Frontier Natural Products Co-op, is voluntarily recalling two products manufactured with non-organic nutmeg that were sold

"Consumption of products containing Salmonella
can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune
systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting
and abdominal pain. In rare circumstances, infection with Salmonella can result in the organism getting into the bloodstream
and producing more severe illnesses such as arterial infections (i.e., infected aneurysms) endocarditic and arthritis."
