Recall: Soy Deli Tofu and Tofu Products

According to the FDA, Soy Deli brand name products, distributed by Quong Hop & Co. of South San Francisco, Calif., were recalled last month due to possible contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria which may cause infections in infants, the elderly and those with weak immune systems.

On Oct. 2, more products were recalled:

• All varieties and sizes of SOY DELI TOFU coded Jan. 28, 2008 or earlier, including all Soy Deli All-Natural Tofu Burgers

• The following products dated Nov. 28, 2007 or earlier: Soy Deli Soy Lower Carb pastas, including manicotti, ravioli and tortellini; the 16-ounce Quong Hop Organic Nigari Tofu firm style non-pasteurized, water-packed; Soy Deli bulk products and the Nigari Firm Tofu 54 PC product

The voluntary recall was initiated after the Washington State Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety Program detected Listeria in a package of tofu during regular testing.

Symptoms of the bacteria include fever, sever headache, diarrhea, abdominal pain and even miscarriages and still births in pregnant women.

According to the Sun-Sentinel, the company said that no illness have been reported.

The products were distributed in grocery and health-food stores in the West Coast and Midwest.

Products should be returned to the place of purchase for a refund.

Consumers may reach the company at 650-553-9900.
