Summary
WASHINGTON, Feb. S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product contains egg, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. The frozen, ready-to-cook chicken alfredo with broccoli and penne pasta meals were produced on January 25, 2023, and January 31, 2023. 7-lb. 3-oz.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “P-32073” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to institutional locations, including schools, in New York and Pennsylvania. While the product was distributed to schools, it was through a commercial sale and was not part of the food provided by the USDA for the National School Lunch Program.
The problem was discovered when the producing establishment received a consumer complaint and notified FSIS. The establishment investigated and determined that they updated the product formulation with a sauce containing egg, but the information was not provided to the nutrition department that creates the product labels.
As a result, the immediate product labels do not list egg as an allergen and the case labels do not list egg in the ingredient statement. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS is concerned that some product may be in institutional freezers.
Institutions are urged not to serve these products. 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. , at 631-424-2700, ext. com . , at 631-424-2700, ext. com . m. m.
