FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - February 1, 2012 – W & International Import Inc. is recalling “Rely” Sardine Anchovies because the product was found to be un-eviscerated.
The recalled “Rely” Sardine Anchovies were distributed nationwide in 7.0 oz. plastic packages. The “Rely” Sardine Anchovies are a product of China.
The “Rely” Sardine Anchovies were sampled by a New York State Department of Agriculture Food Inspector during inspection. Subsequent analysis of the product by New York State Food Laboratory personnel confirmed that the “Rely” Sardine Anchovies were not properly eviscerated prior to processing.
The sale of un-eviscerated fish is prohibited under New York State Agriculture and Markets regulations because Clostridium Botulinum spores are more likely to be concentrated in the viscera than any other portion of the fish. Uneviscerated fish have been linked to outbreaks of botulium poisioning.

Hard-Cooked Egg Recall Expands, Potato Salads Included - (FoodSafetyNews.com)
One week after a company began notifying customers in 34 states about potential Listeria contamination in hard-cooked eggs, the Food and Drug Administration announced that Michael Foods, Inc. is expanding its recall of certain hard-cooked eggs.
Michael Foods said it was widening the initial call back for three lot dates, announced January 26 after lab testing revealed that some of the eggs may have been contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
Additional lot dates have been added, the company said, because of new evidence that a repair project in its Wakefield, Nebraska packaging room "was the likely source of the contamination."
