Luvo Inc. (USA) Recalls
Poultry Products Due to Misbranding and Undeclared Allergens
Luvo Inc. (USA), a
Blaine, Wash. establishment, is recalling approximately 4,805 pounds of poultry
products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The
products are mislabeled as Chicken Chile Verde that contain milk and soy, but
contain Turkey Meatloaf, which has additional allergens, eggs and fish
(anchovies), that are not declared on the product label.
The products were
produced on June 13, 2017. The following product is subject to recall
• 10 oz. retail cartons containing “LUVO
Steam in Pouch A LITTLE SPICE CHICKEN CHILE VERDE with white chicken, black
beans, and polenta” and lot code: 2018JUN13A, with a best before date of June
13, 2018.
The products subject to
recall bear establishment number “424” inside the Canadian Food Inspection
Agency (CFIA) mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributors in
California, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin for further distribution.
The problem was
discovered after the firm received consumer complaints of the wrong meal inside
the retail boxes.
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 list
will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
