US: Recall Of Locally Produced Tofu Products Expanded

The California Department of Public Health Wednesday warned consumers not to eat certain Soy Deli brand tofu products as part of an expanded recall. Mark Horton, the California Department of Public Health director, said that some of the products from South San Francisco manufacturer Quon Hop and Co. may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

The initial recall was announced in September and was expanded Tuesday to include more Soy Deli products that were distributed to supermarkets and natural food stores on the West Coast and in the Midwest.

The expanded recall includes baked tofu in five spice, hickory, honey sesame, teriyaki and savory flavors, mesquite smoke tofu, Hawaiian style fried tofu, nigari vacuum-pack tofu, original, garden, barbeque, teriyaki and Cajun burgers all with date codes on or before Jan. 28, 2008. It also includes water-packed tofu in orange, blue and red, Quong Hop water-packed tofu in red and nigari tofu all with date codes on or before Nov. 28.

The California stores the products were distributed to include Albertsons, Andronico's, Lunardi's, Mollie Stone's Market, Pavilion's, PW Markets, Ralphs, Safeway, Save Mart Supermarkets, Stater Bros., Vons and Whole Foods Market. Although no illnesses have been reported in association with the recall, the bacteria can cause fever, headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea.

An infection from the bacteria can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women. Elderly people, infants and anyone with a weakened immune system are especially at risk.
