Les Ailments O Sole Mio, of Quebec, Canada, is recalling about 3,880 pounds of chicken tortellini products that were produced without inspection in Canada and imported into the United States. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) did not inspect this product while it was made.
This is a heat treated, not fully cooked, shelf stable product. The chicken tortellini items were produced on October 20, 2018. The recalled product is 20 ounce packages of O’Sole Mio La Passione Della Cucina Italiana Tortellini Chicken with lot code 293018 and a use on or freeze by date of January 18, 2019. The product has the establishment number “7674” inside the Canadian mark of inspection. This product was shipped to warehouse locations in Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
The problem was discovered when the CFIA notified FSIS that the Canadian establishment made the product outside the approved period of work shift agreement. No reports of adverse reactions have been received to date in connection with this issue. Anyone who is concerned about a reaction should call a healthcare professional.
If you bought this product, do not eat it. Check to make sure it isn’t in your home freezer. If you did buy it, throw it away in a sealed package so other people and animals can’t access it, or you can take it back to the store where you purchased it for a refund.
FSIS is going to conduct recall effectiveness checks to make sure that the product is no longer available to consumers. The retail distribution list may be posted at the USDA website.
