At a press conference at Process Expo on Wednesday, October 9, the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) announced the launch of the Food Industry Technician (FIT) certification program in association with Lincoln Technical Institute.

Tip Top Poultry Inc. and the FDA provided a wider picture of the reach of a ready-to-eat chicken recall for possible listeria. The chicken went in heat-and-eat meals, sandwiches and deli salads at major grocery stores and a few restaurants.

Recalls of flour milled by ADM Milling Company continue. The FDA notified the company that samples of flour from two production lots manufactured in late 2018 tested positive for E. coli.

Tip Top Poultry’s recall of ready-to-eat chicken for possible listeria has spread to more brands of chicken salad and packaged sandwiches, some sold at Walmart and Target.

Lipari Foods recalled bulk chicken salad and sandwiches made with the salad that may be contaminated with listeria.

General Mills recalled 5-pound bags of Gold Medal unbleached all-purpose flour because E. coli was found in product sampling.
