FDA: Food Recall of Farm Rich Products


The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expanding a recall Friday after linking it to cases of E-coli.
The recall includes all Farm Rich products made at the company's Waycross, Ga., plant with “best by dates” ranging from Jan. 1, 2013 to Sept. 29, 2014, according to the FDA.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 10 patients with E-coli reported eating Farm Rich products.

Rich Products Corporation, a Buffalo, N.Y. firm, is expanding its recall of various heat treated, not fully cooked frozen mini meals and snack items to more than 10.5 million pounds because they may be contaminated with E. coli O121, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
