Beyond Sausage, Sarasota, FL, USA

3 years ago

Sarasota, Florida, United States

I made Beyond Sausage ( sliced them for fajitas for a late dinner Aug. 27th. Early the next morning I was having nausea and Diarrhea constantly. I starting having upper stomache cramping and lower intestinal cramping. I vomited once but continued to have terrible Diarrhea and nausea. I was so weak. Its now Sept 18th and I still have Diarrhea and nausea. I have a very hard time emptying my stomache. After one small meal I'm full. I have had blood tests and abdominal ultrasound and no one can figure out why I'm having these problems out of no where. Laying in bed last night, it hit me to look up if anyone else has had a problem eating the sausage. Apparently they have! Now I have more energy but get drained and dehydrated very quickly. Whatever this is, I wish it was over. I have majore food aversions too and before you think it, I have had major blood work done amd and HCG test was on it... im not pregnant. This whole ordeal started after I ate the sausage from beyond meat. Thinking about it makes me sick now. This is very unfortunate that I am still having problems. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Vomiting, Cramps, Stomach Pain, Weakness

I bought rotisserie chicken at this particular location. I had it for dinner on March 9th midnight, and ever since the meal, I had extreme case of diarrhea and bloating stomach while constantly burping terrible smell. The chicken was pink with trace of blood inside. On March... See More 10th, I’ve gone to the washroom for more than 15 times, on March 11th, I’ve gone for more than 15 times as well. Today I am still feeling quite bad. My body would feel cold and shivering, and since the morning I’ve gone to the washroom like 6 times already. My girlfriend also felt unwell like me. I went to the store asking for explanation on March 11th, while feeling extremely uncomfortable still. The store manager (I don’t know his exact title), besides telling us fill out a report form, was being very skeptical of our situation. He might believe the sickness was caused by other things we had even though we’ve specially told him this is the last thing we had. Furthermore, he kept bringing up that I’m not the member, in which my girlfriend is the member. I’ve only spoken to him because my girl isn’t too proficient in English. He kept saying I’m not the member therefore they can only speak to the member This is unbelievably arrogant and clueless. If anyone who had Costco’s product and got seriously injured, Costco is definitely responsible regardless the user is a member or not, especially when it comes to food safety. Although he promised his manger would call us today, once we missed one call from him in the morning (he also only called 1 number but we out down 2 numbers), we called back multiples times and no one picked up. | Symptoms: Nausea, Diarrhea, Bloating, Burping See Less

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.

El Chilar Rodriguez LLC of Apopka, FL is recalling 127 cases (12 bags/case) of El Chilar Ground Cinnamon “Canela Molida” (1.25 oz bag), because it may contain traces of lead. The product was distributed by La Raza LLC, 8795 D'Arcy Rd, Forestville, MD 20747, which distributes to... See More brick-and-mortar retail stores within the state of Maryland. No illnesses have been reported to date.

Short term exposures to very low levels of lead may not elicit any symptoms. It is possible that increased blood lead levels may be the only apparent sign of lead exposure. Additional signs and symptoms of lead exposure are more likely with acute exposure to higher levels of lead or chronic exposure to lead. While lead can affect nearly every bodily system, its effects depend upon the amount and duration of lead exposure and age/ body weight. If a child is exposed to enough lead for a protracted period of time (e.g., weeks to months) permanent damage to the central nervous system may occur. This can result in learning disorders, developmental defects, and other long-term health problems. For adults, chronic lead exposure is associated with kidney dysfunction, hypertension, and neurocognitive effects. Lead can cause serious health problems if too much is ingested, such as damage to the brain and kidneys, and can interfere with the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to all parts of your body.

The product can be identified by the lot codes D300 EX1024 and F272 EX1026, which is stamped on the front side of the packaging (see attached example).

The recall was initiated after the Maryland Department of Health collected product samples and analysis came back with elevated concentrations of lead. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem might be caused by potentially adulterated raw material from the supplier.

Consumers who have purchased El Chilar Ground Cinnamon “Canela Molida” with lot code D300 EX1024 and F272 EX1026 are urged to stop using the product immediately and to return it to the place of purchase for a full refund. Parents and caregivers of toddlers and young children who may have been exposed to lead should contact their health care provider to report their symptoms and receive care.

If you are experiencing symptoms after eating this product it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist seek medical attention.

Company name: El Chilar Rodriguez LLC
