There has been a recent surge in Listeria and E Coli outbreaks. It started with Boar’s head deli meats, then El Monterey chicken taquitos at Costco, followed by Mc Donald’s beef quarter pounders with the onions, and now its Peak Refuel MRE meals. Many western big game hunters rely on these Peak meals while hunting. Can you please explain what is happening? is the FDA partly to blame? This is absolutely shocking, and it’s making me really angry. Are these meat processing plants employing undocumented workers who disregard safety inspections and food handling regulations? Who bears the real responsibility for these outbreaks? Luckily, my family mainly depends on ethically hunted deer and elk venison in the autumn. This situation is spiraling out of control, IMO.:mad::mad:
 
Food recalls are not a new thing we are probably just more aware of them. I worked nightshift for a packing plant while going through college 50 years ago. We had 2 major recalls on beef in the 9 months I worked there. People take shortcuts to save time and energy and the inspectors don't always catch the shortcuts.
 
Ya, bigger corporations try to cut corners all the time specially with mass producing chicken or beef, on the plus side be though, this is another reason why we hunt because we know exactly where our meat comes from, exactly the person that handled it, and process it and cook’s it. Thanks for posting @Buckskin. 🤙🏽
 
How did undocumented workers enter the equation?
In the United States, there exists a large population with hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants engaged in meat cutting, processing plants, and farm field labor. Most of these individuals are diligent and harmless. I used to live in Salinas, CA and I witnessed first a small number of illegals that didn’t wash their hands and didn’t follow sanitation laws when picking lettuce, hence the huge E Coli lettuce outbreak in California awhile back. I have completed OSHA, hazmat, and food safety handling classes, and have experience working in computer chip clean rooms in Calfornia and Nevada. The presence of non-English speaking immigrants who disregard food safety laws at meat processing plants in OK and TX is, in my opinion, a contributing factor to the current Listeria outbreak in our country.

But to do even the most basic food safety practices, you need workers who can get trained, stay, and put that training to work. There is lots of job turnover amongst the people that work in food/ meat processing plants famr field labor. The food industry is well aware of the strong connection between high turnover and poor food safety, often caused by poor working conditions. Some food safety audits even penalize farms and facilities for relying heavily on temporary workers, regardless of visible hygiene issues. Encouraging workers to stay silent and go unnoticed has negative impacts on food safety. The recent immigration crackdowns are causing significant disruptions that impact farm operations’ safety practices. Are illegal immigrants contributing the current Listeria and E Coli outbreaks in the USA? In my honest opinion they are. I won’t argue with anyone about the impact of illegal immigrants on our food safety. I have a website that everyone can use and all the necessary information. Please do a Google search : for Listeria outbreaks and E Coli outbreaks linked to undocumented immigrants in the US. Then search Archive.ph That is a free legal website to use when you hit paywalls on news websites. The news articles can be copied and pasted without any charge. There is a deliberate attempt by the mainstream media to hide the association between illegal immigrants and the ongoing E Coli / Listeria outbreaks in the USA, IMO
 
Hey, my name is Alex and I work at Peak as a wholesale manager. Little insight here, our chicken supplier, BrucePac, is the one who recalled their chicken and had traces of listeria found in their facility. They recalled 12 million pounds of diced chicken nationwide.

Just so you know, we test for listeria, among many other things, both when we freeze dry, cook and package. None of our products tested positive, but we are following the recommendation from USDA to proceed with a voluntary recall and are recalling all products they have deemed could POSSIBLY have been impacted.

All of our Amazon, website, and wholesale customers have been contacted.

I've eaten quite a bit of product that was in the effected batches and have been fine. Feel free to email me with any questions at [email protected].

Nice of you to come on here and contribute. My question is...when were the subject batches produced? Knowing that would save me some time from going through all my stockpiled Peak stuff, all of which is at least 16 months old.

Interesting that none of your product tested +. I thought about hanging onto the affected product I received but already discarded it. May have to go root around in the trash lol.

Ya, as mentioned, it was a voluntary recall, and per USDA's recommendation, that's the only reason we are recalling the product. If you bought off Amazon or our website, you should have either been refunded or in the process of getting a refund. If you bought it from somewhere else and still have those lot dates, send pics to [email protected] and they'll get you taken care of.

So per USDA, you should throw it away, but totally up to you.
 
This is why I make my own Freeze Dried Meals. They are better than any Mt House , Peak or any other brand meals. I use high quality meats and put plenty in every batch. The creamy chicken poblano soup and chicken pad thai are so good I could eat them at home.
