VALUED QUONG HOP CUSTOMERS 10/1/2007

After review of all test results there have been no new positives, However it was decided that the only way to ensure 100% safety that there is no additional infected product in the field, is by doing a total recall. Our primary concern is consumer and customer safety. After over 100 years in business this is our first and hopefully last bacteria problem. We have only found three (3) of our 29 products with any trace of bacteria, but we have recalled all items listed below to ensure our customer safety. We have had the plant closed for two weeks in a total clean up and expect to be running this week if all testing results come back free of bacteria contamination.

Thank you for your support during this very difficult time.

• SOY DELI 30oz VACUUM PACK NIGARI FIRM WHITE TOFU all dates through 11/28/2007

These products are being recalled due finding Listeria monocytogenes in three (3) of our (29)products and 3 plant swabs . This extended recall is being done because these items have the potential to be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes, an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals may suffer only short term symptoms such as high fever, sever headache, stiffness, abdominal pain and diarrhea, Listeria infection in severe cases can cause miscarriages and still births among pregnant women.

The recalled "SOY DELI" and "QUONG HOP" brand products are distributed in the Midwest and West coast through supermarkets and natural food stores.

This expanded recall reflects product currently in the market. No additional cases of bacteria have been reported. This is a precaution being taken to help ensure product safety.

The date code can be found on the front panel of all the aforementioned products printed in blue ink.

No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.

The potential for contamination was noted after a routine test by Washington State Department of Agriculture's Food Safety Program revealed the presence of Listeria monocytogenes in a 12 OZ vacuum pack package of "SOY DELI FIRM ORGANIC NIGARI TOFU" Further testing in two sample lots confirmed that the 12oz , 30 oz and Bulk tofu did contain traces of bacteria The company is voluntarily recalling all products produced during the same time period as the sampled product to ensure customer safety.

The Company has been in operation for over 100 years and this is our first detection of Listeria. Our primary concern is our consumers safety.

Consumers who have purchased the recalled products are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 650-553-9900 ext 22.
