USDA makes voluntary HoneyBaked recall official
Two days after HoneyBaked Foods Inc. issued a voluntary recall of hams and turkeys, the United States Department of Agriculture issued an official recall of the products because of possible contamination.
The USDA recall was issued yesterday and affects 47,000 pounds of meat. It includes hams and sliced and glazed turkeys purchased from Sept. 5 through Nov. 13 at the company's retail location at 6145 Merger Dr. in Toledo and at three kiosks in Toledo, Maumee, and Woodville. The recall also includes hams and turkeys delivered to catalog customers from its Holland production and distribution facility.
The items were recalled locally Wednesday after routine testing conducted by the company revealed that there was a risk that certain products may be contaminated with the bacteria Listeria monocytogenes.
Consumers who have purchased the products during the affected dates are advised to check the label code at the bottom right of the product label. Ham codes include 6261 through 6310. Sliced and glazed turkey breast codes include 6248 through 6258. Consumers may clarify whether a product purchased via catalog or online is affected by calling 1-800-461-3998. Customers can receive a full refund.
The company will make arrangements to retrieve any unused portion of the product.
