Announcements

Message from Superintendent Polm regarding a produce recall.

Greetings,

This message is regarding a food recall issued by Mann Packing and announced by the US Food and Drug Administration as well as several news outlets on November 4. (See link of public announcement).

https://www.fda.gov/safety/recalls-market-withdrawals-safety-alerts/mann-packing-co-inc-voluntarily-recalls-vegetable-products-sold-united-states-and-canada-due

According to the information released, there have been no vegetable-related illnesses reported yet. An announcement by Mann Packing reported that the recall is being done “out of an abundance of caution”. See link:
https://myinstantrecall.com/events/E171-D7W2-6YYZ-KGGY.

In Port Townsend, we received some of the recalled product from US Foods in October. We served the recalled broccoli and cauliflower roasted and raw on the salad bar. The only meal that we served with the recalled broccoli was the Ramen Noodles on 10/16. The concern is for the bacteria "listeria" as noted in the release.

Of course our main concern is the health and wellness of our students, staff and any community who may have consumed recalled product on the dates noted above. Please know that the product has been removed from service. If there are any questions or concerns that our staff can respond to, please feel free to contact our Food Service Director, Stacey Larsen at 360-379-4281 or slarsen@ptschools.org.

Sincerely,

John A. Polm, Jr., Ed.D.
