The Idaho Foodbank is recalling 27,000 pounds of Coconut Beverage, Broccoli Cheddar Soup, Eggs, and Cheese Product because they were “not continuously maintained or stored at the required temperature due to a malfunction in the cooler. This could result in contamination by spoilage organisms or pathogens, which could lead to life-threatening illness if consumed. The Idaho Foodbank discovered the problem after reviewing cooler temperature records during high heat.” No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
These products were distributed in Southwest and North Central Idaho. In Southwest Idaho, or Magic Valley and Wood River areas, Coconut Beverage, Broccoli and Cheesy Cheddar Soup, Medium eggs in shell, and Pasteurized process American cheese were distributed to mobile pantries, community meal sites, school pantries, and senior centers.
