USDA FSIS has issued a public health alert for SPAM classic produced in a Hormel Foods plant in Austin, MN. on October 17. All product was shipped to H.E.B. retail outlets in Texas.
This incident demonstrates that HACCP systems work to prevent food-borne outbreaks. In this case, the plant was able to ascertain that product packed over a limited period was improperly heated. Monitoring this critical performance level 
identified a potentially contaminated batch and with appropriate trace forward it was withdrawn from the market.
No reports of adverse reaction have been received as a result of the plant malfunction.
