The products subject to recall were produced between May 18 and 20, 2016 in Poland. These items were shipped to a distributor and retail locations in New Jersey and New York.
The problem was discovered by FSIS personnel during routine failure to present shipment monitoring activities and subsequent investigation.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
