Idaho company recalls beef, pork and chicken
BOISE, Idaho (AP) — A southwestern Idaho company is recalling 33,500 pounds of fully cooked meat and poultry products because of possible bacterial contamination.
The United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Saturday that Boise-based B and D Foods is recalling a variety of meat products that could be contaminated with listeria monocytogenes, an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections.
Five different products containing beef, pork or chicken are being recalled. California, Colorado, Idaho, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Montana, Arizona and Ohio have received some of the products.
The agency says the problem was discovered by the company through microbiological testing. The agency says no illnesses have been reported.
Thanks for the props, guys but, sadly, I don't get paid (maybe in laughter today, but not in cold, hard cash)! Â Let's just say I'm an unemployed paleontologist who likes digging in the dirt, lol!
Hallelujah! KATU finally read CTWU's post and included his link in an update! Better late than never, eh?
Somehow I think this story has a lot more impact on folks living in the affected areas than some poor woman with excruciating and untreateable facial pain. C'mon, update time, or are you leaving it to CTWU to let us know the facts. Maybe you should hire him, especially on weekends! It's now 5:30PM and still no updates!
@jpk As much as I DO feel sorry for her; pain like that is no picnic, but... how about some brand names, stores it was shipped to, etc?
For lack of anything better from KATU or the AP, refer to CTWU's link in his post below.
Yup, he takes his/her posting seriously, I guess!
@jpk Now, what the hell does CTWU do for a living? He needs to get involved with training some editor types that I know of. Damn good job; all the info you could ask for.
I swear, I could write KATU stories, without ever leaving my house or looking anything up.

Something Bad Happened Today:
Authorities in some part of the world announced today that something bad has happened, and is expected to continue. There are no reports of casualties, but initial reports have indicated several bystanders might be injured.
Â
You are advised to avoid the area until further notice. Check back for details.
Gee whiz, KATU...I hope you pay CTWU for doing the work of whomever should have been digging out the information on this story. As posted it's about as useful as you-know-what on a boar...and I don't mean lipstick.
So...... Which company? Â What are the names of the products? Â When were they delivered? Â Has the company accounted for the whole volume involved with the recall?
Â
KATU? Â Care to comment on this rather fact-deprived story?
Here you go, guys. Â The news failed to provide the "rest of the story" or a link so I'll do it:

Appears to be headed toward commercial kitchens near you (tempura stuff -- stay away for more reasons than one!!). Â Parm chicken? Â I don't THINK so...
Thank you for the info. KATU, are you reading this also? Nothing like raising concern and then not following through!Â
 @jpk They'll have it all written up by oh ,,,,, about 11:00 PM.
First step to Idaho going vegan.
I think so of this article is missing. Or did they just leave off the most important part? Â What products, brand names???????Store????? Hello
Gee, it would be nice to know what stores these products went to... also brand names and/or identifying info..??? Â (Is the "B&D Foods" the only name these procuts are sold under..?)
OK,Â
So what ones are recalled? Â
@abhunter If it says"B&D FOODS" on it, don't eat it. Even better, don't eat pre cooked meats without recooking them.
