FSIS has yet to receive any  confirmed reports of injury or illness from consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider. The agency says 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.
