MF Meats is recalling approximately 93,277 pounds of raw meat products due to potential contamination with a non-food grade substance, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The products were shipped to restaurants in New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. There have... See More been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

The recalled products include various weights of meat cuts and ground meat (list attached below), The products display Julian dates of 330-365 (November 26 - December 31) and 1-47 (January 1 - February 16). The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST. 569” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The problem was discovered after the firm received four complaints from restaurants reporting a chemical taste in the meat products. An investigation revealed that the firm's mineral oil supplier had mistakenly sent a drum containing non-food grade mineral seal oil labeled as food grade mineral oil. This non-food grade mineral seal oil was applied to food contact surfaces, not directly to the meat products.

If you or a loved one are harmed or experiencing any symptoms, it is important to report it. Reporting can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and enable better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.

We stayed at the Tui Blue Cabo Verde from 5th February 2024 until 19th February 2024

I became very ill, 2 days into the holiday, with violent stomach cramps, nausea, fever and diarrhoea it lasted for the whole holiday and I’m still waiting to recover ( I... See More have now been back 3 weeks) I’m currently waiting to get some treatment, as my doctor doesn’t know what to treat it with.

I concur with others, that glasses and cups in the room were not replenished with clean ones every day, my husbands bed sheets were changed with stained sheets. It was difficult to get tea, coffee and drinks at meal times. Water was only available from water fountains which were fed from the big blue bottles. Bottles of water were only replaced every two days. I do not drink alcohol and only drink water (sparkling or still)

In a nutshell my holiday has been ruined and I will never return to Cape Verde again. TUI have a duty of care to their customers and in my opinion they have not fulfilled their responsibility
The reps are only interested in selling overpriced island tours and activities. I have complained to TUI and have been told I will need to get a report from the doctor.

My motivation for leaving this review is to protect people from suffering how I am with this horrible poisoning. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Fever, Cramps
