If you’re a sushi lover, you’ll want to pay attention to this recent recall: ready-to eat sushi, salad and spring rolls from 10 popular chains in 31 states have been recalled due to possible Listeria contamination. The FDA announced the voluntary recall by Fuji Food Products on November 27th. "As responsible processors of safe, fresh food for nearly 30 years, we are addressing this problem vigorously and we apologize to those who are affected by it," said Fuji Food Products CEO Farrell Hirsch. "We will restart operation only after we have eliminated the cause and the FDA certifies that our facility is once again free of possible contamination."
