Pepper Colby and Garlic Colby Cheeses contained the bacteria. Morningland
Dairy has suspended the production and distribution of all cheese, as FDA,
the Missouri Milk Board, and Morningland Dairy continue their investigation
as to the root cause of the problem.

"Egg Noodles and Wonton Skins" Recalled
Good Taste Noodle MFG. of Chicago, IL, is recalling its "EGG NOODLES and
WONTON SKINS, labeled with production date from June 19, 2010 to August 19,
2010", because they have the potential to be contaminated with salmonella,

infections, endocarditic and arthritis.

The recalled "EGG NOODLES and WONTON SKINS" may contain eggs which have been
recalled by the manufacturer due to the potential contamination with
Salmonella enteritidis. Consumers are urged to return these "EGG NOODLES and
WONTON SKINS", labeled with production date from June 19, 2010 to August 19,
2010 to our warehouse for the full refund.
