These products have the establishment number “EST. 1081” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The items were shipped to restaurants in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and sold at the R&R Provision Company retail store.
The problem was discovered Wednesday by FSIS Inspection Program Personnel while they were performing routine labeling verifications. The establishment received a letter from their breading supplier specifying the incorporation of new ingredients, but the change was not carried over onto the final R&R product labels.
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.
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 lists will be posted on the FSIS website.
