The Farm Rich E. coli outbreak has prompted the recall of close to 100 tons of potentially contaminated Farm Rich frozen products.  These include:

  • 7.2-oz. cartons of Farm Rich mini pizza slices with cheese pepperoni and sauce in pizza dough, UPC code 041322376909 with a best by date of May 15 or May 16, 2014.
  • 22-oz. cartons of Farm Rich mini pizza slices with cheese pepperoni and sauce in pizza dough, UPC code 041322356437 with a best by date of May 15 or May 16, 2014.
  • 18-oz. bags of Farm Rich mini quesadillas with cheese, grilled white meat chicken in a crispy crust, UPC code 041322356352 with a best by date of May 14, 2014.
  • 21-oz. bags of Farm Rich philly cheese steaks with cheese, beef & onions in a crispy crust, UPC code 041322356345 with a best by date of May 13, 2014.
  • 22-oz. cartons of Farm Rich mozzarella bites in a pizzeria style crust, UPC code 041322374431 with a best by date of May 19, 2014.
  • 7-oz. cartons of Farm Rich mozzarella bites in a pizzeria style crust, UPC code 041322376916 with a best by date of May 19, 2014.
  • 22-oz. bags of Market Day Mozzarella Bites, UPC code 041322804358 with a best by date of May 12, 2014.

 

Consumers need to still be wary of potentially contaminated product. Given the widespread distribution of recalled 100 tons of product, it may still be in many freezers.  The average consumer does not get regular updates from www.foodpoisonjournal.com, www.marlerblog.com, or the USDA and FDA recall websites.

People have gotten ill before in large numbers from already-recalled product. The above chart shows how many people became ill AFTER the October 11, 2007 recall of Con Agra pot pies.
