The following recall has been announced:

 

- Quong Hop & Co. of South San Francisco, Calif., is expanding its recall of

tofu products, which might be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, to

include products coded with two additional dates. Listeria is a

microorganism that can cause serious or fatal infections in children, the

elderly or those with weakened immune systems. No illnesses have been

reported in connection with the products, the company said.

 

On Tuesday, the company announced a recall of all packages of Soy Deli tofu

coded Dec. 17, 2007. This recall also included three products coded Sept.

23, 2007: the 30-ounce Soy Deli nigari tofu, the 12-ounce Soy Deli water

packed tofu and the 16-ounce Quong Hop water packed tofu.

 

The recall was expanded to include the 30-ounce Soy Deli nigari tofu coded

Oct, 17, 2007, and the 12-ounce Soy Deli water packed tofu coded Oct. 9,

2007.

 

The products were distributed throughout the Midwest and the West Coast in

supermarkets and natural food stores, the company said.

 

Healthy adults who are infected with listeria can experience symptoms

including high fever, severe headache, nausea and diarrhea. For more

information, consumers can call the company at 650-553-9900.
