Post #32 - April 8th, 2011, 6:30 amI thought that, Cathy. I just wasn't sure if it was more a fresh vs. dried bean and if it's the whole thing including the pod and seeds. Maybe the ratio of pods to seeds?

Post #33 - April 11th, 2011, 8:16 amI have a bottle of Vera Cruz Pura vanilla-it was purchased at a mexican grocery for $3.99 for a pretty big bottle. It has no vanillin but has artificial color and water added. I love this stuff and at that price I pour generously.What disease did cured ham actually have?

These things should not be reported by links from a personal attorney lawyer. Just look at the tags?
I did find a UPI article on the same.
A few years ago via Chicago Foodways Roundtable, there were two tours through the Nielsen Massey Factory. They were fully prepared to recall any product, if ever, and had even conducted practice runs. It appears they were being proactive with this recall.Illinois company say it is recalling Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste because of potential Listeria monocytogenes.
Nielsen-Massey Vanillas Inc. of Waukegan is voluntarily recalling lot No. 11123 of its Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste because it has the potential to be contaminated with Listeria.
The recall extends to all states of the United States and Canada at all levels of distribution, including the retail level. The recalled product is offered in translucent plastic 1-gallon- and 1-quart-size containers under the name Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste, through a variety of distribution channels including direct delivery to business customers, distributors and retail sales.
There have been no reports of illness related to this product.
"We acted immediately when consumer safety became an issue," Craig Nielsen, chief executive officer of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, says in a statement. "As a further precaution, Nielsen-Massey is submitting samples of prior and existing lots of the Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste, as well as raw materials and production equipment swabs to be tested for possible Listeria contamination."
Customers who purchased the product have been urged to remove the product from sale, cease distribution and return the product to Nielsen-Massey for a full refund or credit. Customers with questions may contact Nielsen-Massey at 800-525-PURE, or 7873, or 847-578-1550, Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. CDT.

Post #36 - May 22nd, 2011, 11:49 amMy apologies, in all his other articles he links the FSIS recall press release - here it is: http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm255713.htm
For the record, I have no relationship with this attorney, other than that his blog is one of the better resources for recall information.

Post #37 - May 23rd, 2011, 8:09 amJust two points of clarification:
1. The UPI story is literally taken directly from the company's press release, which you can see at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm255713.htm
2. Until the new food safety bill was passed in January, the FDA could never recall a product or force a company to do so (except for infant formula). So until January a voluntary recall was the only kind of recall. Since January, I'm not sure if there have been any involuntary recalls.

Post #40 - August 31st, 2018, 8:28 amEarlier this summer I ribbed a friend for using vanilla beans/pods in a frosting for a dessert for a community event. I was like, these folks aren't even used to home-made offerings at this point, why are you spending the beans like that on a frosting for this audience!? Then my friend reminded me she knew how to make it rain.

At this point, I give side-eye to all recipes that have even vanilla extract in them given the cost. Is it essential? If it is a chocolate, coffee, or another assertively flavored offering I am probably going to pass on it. If it isn't I start wondering if I can use almond or lemon or something else instead. I still dose coffee at home with it, but only the cheap stuff.--YMMVAva-"If you get down and out, just get in the kitchen and bake a cake."- Jean Strickland

Post #41 - August 31st, 2018, 9:28 amI love using the vanilla paste from N-M, esp if it's a finished product where the specks will show.
I think you can buy it at Williams-Sonoma, Spice House, or online."If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home."

my understanding is that your 'friend' uses the same standards for cooking and baking regardless of her intended consumer? Everyone appreciate homemade deliciousness made with REAL Vanilla Bean. I'm just sayin....pairs4life wrote:Earlier this summer I ribbed a friend for using vanilla beans/pods in a frosting for a dessert for a community event.
