Re posted from Rodale Press. A dangerous bacterium has contaminated some of summer’s tastiest fruits. By Emily Main Fruit season is at its height, and this summer, like last, fruit is at the center of two major food-safety recalls affecting dozens of states. Cantaloupe and Honeydew North Carolinaābased Burch Farms is recalling cantaloupes and melons grown on its farm because the fruits have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious, even fatal, infections in children and the elderly and miscarriages or stillbirths in pregnant women. Initially, the recall involved 189,000 cases of cantaloupes, but it has since been expanded to include all cantaloupes and honeydews grown at the farm this season. The recalled cantaloupes and honeydew melons were shipped between June 23rd and July 27th, to the following states: FL, GA, IL, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SC, VA, VT, and WV. Government regulators detected the contamination during routine testing of the farm’s packing facilities, which were found to be “unsanitary,” according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Unsanitary conditions at packing facilities were ultimately the cause of the nation’s deadliest foodborne illness outbreak, which happened last summer. That recall also involved Listeria-contaminated cantaloupes and was responsible for at least 33 deaths and more than 140 illnesses. Toss Your Melons: Listeria Outbreak of 2011 Deadliest in a Decade The fruits involved in the current recall bear a red label reading “Burch Farms” with the PLU code #4319. However, some of the fruits have the same PLU code but stickers that say “Cottle Strawberry Inc.” (a separate farm that didn’t grow or pack any of the melons involved in the recall). Because some varieties of cantaloupe have a long shelf life, there is some possibility that these are still in people’s refrigerators, so check the stickers before cutting up your melons! Tainted Apple Products Also last week, Missa Bay, a subsidiary of New Jerseyābased Ready Pac Foods, recalled 293,488 cases of apples and 296,224 individual packages of apples and vegetable and sandwich products that contain apples, all of which have been contaminated with Listeria. The products were sent to distributors and stores in AL, AR, CT, DE, DC, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KY, LA, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NE, NH, NJ, NY, NC, ND, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, VT, VA, WI, and WV. Some of the packaged apples have been handed out at Burger King and McDonald’s restaurants, and many were relabeled under private-label products sold at Wawa, Wegmans, Hannaford’s, Safeway, as well as the company’s own Ready Pac brand name. For a complete list of products included in the recall and their associated UPC codes, see fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm315249.htm. All the affected products bear use-by dates of July 8, 2012, through August 20, 2012. Where Listeria Comes From Fortunately, neither recall has made anyone sick, the FDA has said. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Listeria is commonly found in soil and water, and typically crops up in meat and dairy products. But it can affect produce that passes through contaminated processing plants, where Listeria can live for years. Listeria can be killed during cooking, but that’s not going to help disinfect contaminated cantaloupe, which are usually eaten raw. Sometimes, the fruit itself is contaminated, but other times, the bacteria live on the outside and are transferred to the fruit when it’s cut. The infection from the bacterium can be fatal in certain people, but average healthy adults will experience less-severe symptoms, including muscle aches and fever, headache, stiff neck, confusion, and loss of balance. In rare cases, healthy people may experience convulsions. For complete details on both recalls, visit fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/default.htm.

Ath sa phost as Rodale Preas . Tá baictéar contúirteach éillithe cuid de an tsamhraidh ar torthaí tastiest. Faoi Emily Príomh Tá séasúr Torthaí ag an chuid is airde, agus an samhradh seo, cosúil le seo caite, tá torthaí i lár dhá mhór bia-sábháilteacht Meabhraíonn difear mórán de na stáit. Cantaloupe agus Honeydew Feirmeacha Burch North Carolina-bhunaithe é cantaloupes agus mealbhacáin tar éis fás ar a fheirm toisc go bhfuil an cumas a bheith éillithe le Listeria monocytogenes, orgánach gur féidir a bheith ina chúis tromchúiseach, fiú marfach, ionfhabhtuithe i leanaí agus do dhaoine aosta agus miscarriages nó marbh-bhreith i torrach torthaí cuimhne mná. I dtús báire, i gceist ar an cuimhne 189,000 cásanna de cantaloupes, ach tá sé leathnaithe toisc chun gach cantaloupes agus honeydews fás ar an bhfeirm séasúr seo. Bhí shipped na cantaloupes Chuimhnigh agus mealbhacáin honeydew idir 23 Meitheamh agus 27 Iúil, chuig na stáit seo a leanas: FL, EN, IL, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, SC, VA, vt, agus WV. Rialtóirí Rialtais braitheadh éilliú le linn tástála ghnáthamh na n-áiseanna pacála na feirme, fuarthas go raibh a bheith "unsanitary," de réir an Bia agus Drugaí Riarachán (FDA). Bhí coinníollacha unsanitary ag saoráidí a phacáil ar deireadh thiar is cúis leis an náisiúin deadliest ráig tinneas bia-iompartha, rud a tharla an samhradh seo caite. Sin cuimhne i gceist chomh maith cantaloupes Listéire-éillithe agus bhí sé freagrach as ar a laghad 33 básanna agus níos mó ná 140 tinnis. Toss Do Mealbhacáin: Listeria Ráig de 2011 deadliest i deich mbliana Na torthaí a bhfuil baint acu leis an cuimhne atá ann faoi láthair, beidh lipéad dearg léamh "Burch Feirmeacha" leis an gcód plu # 4319. Mar sin féin, tá an cód plu céanna ach greamáin a rá "Cottle sútha talún Inc" (feirm ar leith nach raibh fás nó pacáiste aon cheann de na mealbhacáin baint acu leis an cuimhne) cuid de na torthaí. Toisc go bhfuil roinnt cineálacha de cantaloupe le seilfré fada, tá roinnt fhéidearthacht go bhfuil na fós i ndaoine cuisneoirí, mar sin seiceáil na greamáin roimh ghearradh suas do mealbhacán!

Dar leis an ionaid ar Rialú Galar agus Cosc, tá Listeria le fáil go coitianta in ithir agus uisce, agus de ghnáth barr suas i feola agus táirgí déiríochta. Ach is féidir leis seo tionchar a tháirgeadh go Gabhann trí mhonarchana próiseála éillithe, áit ar féidir Listeria maireachtáil ar feadh na mblianta. Is féidir Listeria a maraíodh le linn cócaireachta, ach nach bhfuil dul chun cabhrú dhífhabhtú cantaloupe éillithe, a ithe de ghnáth amh. Uaireanta, tá na torthaí féin éillithe, ach uaireanta eile, beo na baictéir ar an taobh amuigh agus ar aistriú go dtí na torthaí nuair a tá sé gearrtha. Is féidir leis an ionfhabhtaithe as an bhaictéar a bheith marfach i ndaoine áirithe, ach beidh daoine fásta meán sláintiúil taithí na comharthaí níos lú-dian, lena n-áirítear pianta matáin agus fiabhras, tinneas cinn, muineál righin, mearbhall, agus caillteanas iarmhéid.
