Full List of Food Recalls in November As Warnings Issued Nationwide

A flurry of food recalls led to warnings being issued nationwide during the month of November, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Recalls were initiated for reasons ranging from concerns about contamination with dangerous pathogens to simple production and mislabeling mistakes that could result in consumers being exposed to allergic reactions.

Some of the month's biggest recalls were for products like meat and carrots, which later sparked additional recalls when they were used as ingredients by outside companies.

Newsweek has compiled the following list of all of the food recalls shared by the FDA and USDA during November:

• On November 1, HH Fresh Trading Corp of California issued a recall for 200 gram packages of Taiwan Enoki mushrooms due to concerns about contamination with Listeria monocytogenes, a bacteria that can cause sometimes fatal infections. The FDA shared the recall announcement on November 2 and launched an investigation alongside the company.
• Potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination was also the reason for Savencia Cheese USA recalling a selection of soft ripened cheeses on November 2, with the recall notice being shared to the FDA website on November 4. Various types of brie and camembert cheese include in the recall were sold under brand names including Aldi Emporium, La Bonne Vie, Market Basket and Supreme Oval.
• The Savencia recall was expanded two days later to include Glenview Farms brand Spreadable Brie sold in two-thirds pound packages. While the cheese initially recalled was all manufactured on September 30, the Glenview Farms cheese was produced on October 15.
• Babcock Dairy of Madison, Wisconsin, issued a recall for its Orange Custard Chocolate Chip ice cream on November 5 over an issue that caused some packages to be mislabeled as Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream. The company warned that people with an "allergy or severe sensitivity to eggs or yellow #5" could experience a severe reaction if they consume the ice cream.
• The Babcock Dairy recall was expanded on November 19 due to the discovery of an additional lot of the ice cream potential containing eggs without being listed as an ingredient. The products were only sold at stores in the Madison, Wisconsin, area.
• Packaged Autumn Turkey Sandwich products sold under the CIBUS Fresh, Jack & Olive and Sprig and Sprout brand names were recalled on November 6 due to the inclusion of the previously recalled Glenview Farms Spreadable Brie product. The sandwiches were sold in Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee.
• Regional supermarket chain Wegmans issued a recall for its packaged Large Asian Sesame Salad with Chicken and Asian Peanut Dressing on November 8. The recall was initiated over concerns about the potential inclusion of undeclared eggs.
• USDA announced on November 9 that Yu Shang Food, Inc. had recalled 4,589 pounds of "ready to eat" meat and poultry products due to potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The recall expanded to include a total 72,240 pounds of product on November 21.
• Undeclared eggs prompted the Gilster-Mary Lee Corporation to announce a recall on November 12 of Bowl & Basket brand Onion Soup Mix sold in two-ounce cartons. No related illness were reported, although the recall took place in response to a customer complaint.
• Grimmway Farms recalled some of its organic whole and baby carrots on November 16 after discovering contamination with the Shiga toxin-producing bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli). Nineteen brands were affected across the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada. The carrots are tied to the death of at least one person and are believed to have made dozens of other people ill.
• IHA Beverage of Commerce, California, recalled four-ounce containers of Super brand cinnamon powder on November 18 due to potential contamination with lead. While no related illness were reported, lead contamination presents a serious health risk to consumers and can potentially cause long-term damage to children in particular.
• Wolverine Packing Co. of Detroit issued a massive recall of approximately 167,277 pounds of ground beef products over concerns about E. coli contamination on November 20, according to USDA. The recall was triggered after the Minnesota Department of Agriculture was notified of people getting sick after eating the meat. At least 15 people became ill between November 2 and November 10.
• Carlstadt, New Jersey-based Fabalish Inc. recalled Kickin' Carrot Falafel Bites on November 18 due to potential E. coli contamination. The recall, which was shared by the FDA on November 20, is tied to the Grimmway Farms carrot recall.
• In an additional action tied to the Grimmway Farms recall, F&S Fresh Foods of Sacramento, California, recalled 15-ounce packages of Whole Foods Market brand Organic Carrot Sticks and Organic Carrots & Celery on November 20 due to possible E. coli. The products were sold at Whole Foods stores in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho and Nevada.
• The Grimmway Farms recall was expanded on November 21 to include four additional packages of organic whole carrots sold under the Good & Gather, Bunny Luv and Cal-Organic brand names.
• Sugar Foods recalled 3.5-ounce pouches of Fresh Gourmet brand Santa Fe Style Tortilla Strips on November 22. The recall was initiated over concerns about allergic reactions due to the undeclared presence of wheat. No associated illnesses were reported.
• Church Brothers Farms announced a recall of green onions sold under multiple brand names on November 25. However, the recall was quickly rescinded after an investigation determined that testing thought to show the presence of Salmonella in the onions was caused by cross-contamination and posed no threat to consumers.
• Handsome Brook Farms recalled containers of Costco's Kirkland Signature brand 24-count organic pasture raised eggs on November 27 over Salmonella contamination concerns after eggs that were not intended for retail distribution were accidentally packaged. The eggs were sold beginning on November 22 at Costco stores in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.
• SunFed Produce recalled whole fresh American cucumbers on November 27 due to potential Salmonella contamination. The cucumbers were sold in 26 U.S. states and five Canadian provinces from October 12 until November 26. An unspecified number of illnesses tied to the recall were reported from October 12 to November 15, according to the FDA.

Salmonella is the most common cause of food poisoning in the U.S. Eating contaminated food can lead to an infection known as salmonellosis, which usually appears between six hours to six days following consumption, according to the U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

Cases typically last from four to seven days and include such symptoms as abdominal cramps, diarrhea and fever. Severe cases, which are more likely to occur in children, the elderly or people with compromised immune systems, can include a range of other symptoms involving joints and the nervous system.

E. coli typically causes unpleasant symptoms within three to four days after eating contaminated food. Symptoms can include dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps.

While most people recover from an E. coli infection within a week, a rare type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome can affect 5 to 10 percent of people infected with certain strains of the bacteria. Elderly adults and children under the age of 5 are especially vulnerable.

Listeriosis, an infection of Listeria monocytogenes, can result in severe symptoms even in those who are otherwise healthy. About 260 of an estimated 1,600 annual cases are fatal, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Most listeriosis infections are limited to the digestive system, with symptoms including diarrhea and vomiting within 24 hours of consuming contaminated food. But a more invasive form of the illness develops in some within two weeks, killing about one in 20 people who are not pregnant.

For those who are pregnant, symptoms are generally mild or nonexistent, but invasive illness "usually leads to miscarriage, stillbirth, premature delivery, or life-threatening infection of the newborn," according to the CDC.

Undeclared ingredients can cause the potentially deadly condition anaphylaxis in those with related allergies. About 6 percent of U.S. adults and 8 percent of children have at least one food allergy.

Anaphylaxis requires prompt medical attention because of symptoms that include throat swelling, difficulty breathing, a sudden drop in blood pressure and loss of consciousness. Other symptoms of serious allergic reactions include rashes, hives, itching, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal cramping.

Foods contaminated with heavy metals like lead can also pose a severe heath risk. Short-term symptoms of lead poisoning include headaches, abdominal pain, colic, vomiting and anemia. Long-term exposure can result in irritability, fatigue, muscle aches, difficulty concentrating, tremors and weight loss.
