Summary
Jule's Foods was warned about adulteration of its ready-to-eat vegan cashew brie products, which were prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions and contaminated with Salmonella. The FDA's inspection of the Carlsbad, California facility found four Salmonella serotypes (Urbana, Leiden, Vinohrady, and Chester) in environmental swabs from the manufacturing equipment, finished products, and incoming cashew ingredients. This contamination was linked to a multi-state Salmonella outbreak that infected 20 people across 4 states, making the company's products the likely source of the outbreak.
