Product Recalls
SYSCO Sacramento is dedicated to food safety. If there are any active recalls that could affect any SYSCO Sacramento customers, the information would be shown here.
ACTIVE RECALLS
SYSCO Sacramento is currently conducting a HOLD on RAW jalapeno and RAW serrano peppers. The FDA confirmed late July 09, 2008 that they have implicated jalapeno and serrano peppers in an outbreak of salmonellosis infections that caused serious illnesses in the United States.
In an abundance of caution, SYSCO Sacramento will immediately stop shipment of all RAW jalapeno and serrano peppers. Pickled, cooked and otherwise processed jalapeno and serrano peppers that are not RAW are not implicated.

SYSCO Sacramento Recall procedures
Within one hour of learning of a recall, our client notification process is started. Here’s how the process works:
- A vendor contacts our corporate office with their recall.
- Communication is dispersed to designated people at our facility including Inventory Control, Merchandising, the Recall Coordinator, and the Executive staff.
- After reviewing our inventory, all affected product is segregated and placed on hold.
- If any product has been shipped to our clients, the “Recall Team” acts immediately. We have detailed records showing when and how many cases our clients received.
- A letter/statement is drafted detailing the recall and the steps that the client needs to take to ensure their customers' safety.
- The letter is faxed to the appropriate clients in conjunction with a personalized phone call.
Every six months our Recall Team performs a mock recall to test our process and to verify we deliver what we promise.
