• products are subject to recall[ View Labels (PDF Only)] 20 units of 16-oz. aluminum loaf pans with plastic lids containing 1 piece of Turkey Meatloaf with Kale with a sell by date of 12/10/2016. 59 units of 16-oz. aluminum loaf pans with plastic lids containing 1 pieces of Homestyle Meatloaf with a sell by date of 12/10/2016. The products subject to recall bear establishment number EST. 34834 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations in Oregon and Washington. The problem was discovered when a broker notified the firm. The firm investigated and found that the ingredient label on the bottom of the packages was incorrect, due to improper placement. The firm observed that although the correct principal display panel labels were attached to the top of the packages; the wrong ingredients statement label was attached to the bottom of the packages. The Turkey Meatloaf with Kale products incorrectly display the ingredients statement for the Homestyle Meatloaf. The Turkey Meatloaf with Kale products contain the allergens milk and anchovies, which are not declared because the Homestyle Meatloaf does not contain those ingredients and the ingredients statement, therefore, does not declare milk or anchovies. Conversely, the Homestyle Meatloaf products incorrectly display the ingredients statement for the Turkey Meatloaf with Kale. Although all of the allergen ingredients in the Homestyle Meatloaf are declared on the bottom label, the Homestyle Meatloaf product is a beef and pork product, and beef and pork are not included in the ingredients statement on the bottom of the package. 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.
