FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- May 28, 2008 – Orval Kent Foods is voluntarily recalling approximately 23,000 pounds of Amish Macaroni Salad that may pose a health risk.

This voluntary action is being taken in response to the results of a test conducted on a single package of Amish Macaroni Salad by the Ohio Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Food Safety, for E. coli O157:H7. 

It is important to note that no illnesses associated with consumption of this product have been reported.

The only product included in this recall is Amish Macaroni Salad with the following UPC codes and associated Use By dates:

  • UPC 7945368281 Orval Kent Amish Macaroni Salad, 5 pound container, Use By 6/12/08

E. coli O157:H7 causes a diarrheal illness often with bloody stools.  Although most healthy adults can recover completely with a week, some people can develop a form of kidney failure that can lead to serious kidney damage and even death.  Young children, the elderly and those with weak immune systems are most susceptible to foodborne illnesses.

No other Yoder's or Orval Kent deli salads, or other code dates or UPC's of the Amish Macaroni Salad are included in this recall.

Our highest priority is protecting the health and safety of our customers, consumers and their families.  Today's precautionary action is a measure to ensure this priority is carried out, and that we maintain the loyalty and trust of our consumers.

Consumers are urged to return all un-opened containers to their place of purchase for a full refund.

Consumers with any questions may contact Orval Kent at 1-800-544-1246.

Type of Recall:
