Most manufacturers, importers and wholesalers we deal on a regular bases avoid adding product recall coverage to the list of their insurance policies. Unless the destiny makes you deal with it, unlikely one knows that the expenses for the product recall are inclusive of notification, inspection, retrieval, transportation, utilization/salvaging, compensation to injured/damaged parties, as well as good name restoration. For example, more than 90 tons of ready-to-eat salads and sandwiches by a California catering company are being recalled after 26 people in three states were sickened by a bacterial strain of E. coli linked to its products, federal health officials said on 11/10/2013.
Richmond-based Glass Onion Catering are recalling approximately 181,620 pounds of salads and sandwich wraps containing cooked chicken and ham, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said. It’s unknown how much exactly the product recall is going to cost.
The products were produced between Sept. 23 and Nov. 6, and were shipped to distribution centers in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Texas. The Contra Costa Times reported the company supplies food to Trader Joe’s, Super Fresh Goods and Delish.
The Food and Drug Administration has a full list of products being recalled on its website at: www.fda.gov/Food/RecallsOutbreaksEmergencies/Recalls/default.htm
