French liver product seized NEW YORK, N.Y. - Consumers were warned last week that all imported canned liver pate (paste) products bearing establish ment numbers “2401 - C” and “2401 - D” should be con sidered dangerous and not 'eaten. Officials of the U.S. Department of Agriculture said establishment numbers are printed on product labels and also embossed on the cans. In addition, the words “Product of France” are printed on the labels. The canned products may pose a public health hazard due to potential growth of bacteria that causes botulism. USDA is con tacting product distributors and getting the cans off retail shelves. Consumers who have already bought such products are advised to return them to the store where purchased. The gourmet -type canned items are marketed under such labels as “Oven-baked Pate,” “Bloc de Foie Gras Truffle,” and “Pate Maison with one per cent Truffles.” They come in can sizes from 11-3 ounce of 2 lb. - 3 ounces and are sold by department stores, delicatessens, gourmet and other specialty food shops, as well as in neighborhood supermarkets. Dr. Fred J. Fullerton, deputy administrator of USDA’s Food Safety and Quality Service (FSQS), said all involved products are produced by Rougie-Vives of Carluz, France.
