Important Tofu Recall Information: Click Here Or Die!

Hang on to your tofu everyone! South San Francisco company Quong Hop and Co. has recalled all of its Soy Deli brand tofu after health officials detected the nasty listeria monocytogenes bacteria in a package of Quong Hop's 12-ounce Soy Deli Firm Organic Nigari Tofu. Thankfully, we prefer the soft variety. Mmmm, Mapo Tofu.

No illnesses associated with the tofu have been reported, but the company has recalled all of its Soy Deli brand tofu bearing the date code of Dec. 17, 2007, as well as three other brands. Click here for those details. Although listeria monocytogenes can be fatal in newborns, the elderly and the immune deficient, healthy people can get off easier, with fever, headache, nausea and possibly a case of the old trouser chili.

If you bought any of the recalled tofu, either throw it out or take it back to the store where you got it.
