Fisher/Rex Sandwiches Recalls Sandwiches Because of Possible Health Risk
Fisher/Rex Sandwiches of Raleigh, NC is recalling some of their sandwiches because they have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short-term symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
The recalled products were distributed to convenience stores, gas stations and other retail stores in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
All sandwiches with a seven digit code lot code (such as 0126509) are subject to recall. Products will be labeled as Fisher/Rex Sandwiches with the name of the sandwich on it. Sandwiches with a five-digit lot code are not subject to the recall.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
The recall was the result of a routine inspection conducted by the NCDA&CS Food and Drug Protection Division, which revealed that some of the sandwiches contained Listeria monocytogenes. Fisher Rex Sandwiches has ceased the production and distribution of these products as the NCDA&CS and Fisher Rex continue their investigation to determine the cause of the problem.
Consumers who have these products should throw them away. For additional information, please contact Fisher/Rex at 919-832-6494 or 1-800-849-8093.

A new CSPI report finds that the top 10 riskiest foods regulated by the federal Food and Drug Administration accounted for nearly 40 percent of all foodborne outbreaks in the U.S. between 1990 and 2006, spawning nearly 50,000 illnesses with symptoms ranging from stomach cramps and diarrhea to kidney failure and death.
In all the foods regulated by the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA found that leafy greens are the most dangerous. Other trouble foods include eggs, tuna, oysters and potatoes, cheese, ice cream, tomatoes, sprouts and berries.
A lot of foods are imported these days – far more than ever before – and so little of these foods are inspected. Imported foods cause the most risk of food borne illness so as always noted here, avoid them.

In the name of “public health”…
Recently, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission started pushing its program, which they call “Resale Round-up.” It’s a plan that halts the sale of any item that fails the government’s standard on lead.
Note: THE GOVERNMENT’S STANDARD. Translate: Whatever they decide, whatever/whoever they don’t like. Doesn’t matter if there is truly a “threat” or not.
Do you wonder what that has to do with you? If so, let me ask you this: have you ever had a garage sale, a yard sale, or donated stuff for somebody else to have one? Did the items you sell and the items you gave away meet the government’s rules about lead?
What? You don’t know? There is a 24-page book that tells you what is banned.
There is a Web site that tells you what is illegal. And, if you get caught selling something on that list, you can be fined.
“How big a fine?” you might ask. It can be up to $100,000 per infraction. They actually plan to accuse innocent people of selling “deadly” items.
As Inez Tenenbaum, the CPSC chairman says, “Those who resell recalled children’s products are not only breaking the law, they are putting children’s lives at risk.”
Furthermore, this is going to hurt the time-honored charitable resale stores such as Salvation Army and Bethesda that, left to their own devices, helps communities nationwide:
“CPSC is partnering with the National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops (NARTS), the Salvation Army, state agencies, and others to alert re-sellers about recalled products, product hazards including cribs that do not meet current safety standards, drawstrings in children’s clothing, and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).”
These stores help thousands of people make ends meet. They’ve been around forever and why? Because of the goodness and generosity of your neighbors. Many people enjoy garage sales in their free time…another time-honored tradition in America under “surveillance”.
Now goodness and generosity could be considered a crime. Churches doing their own rummage sales for profit could be under attack or subject to fines. Some ‘hope’. Some ‘change’.
Spread the word…and tell your legislator what you think of this, too if you think it’s going a bit too far. We seriously wonder if anyone has ever been physically made ill or hurt by something they bought at a garage sale or from a charitable organization.
