According to the FSIS report on the recall, posted on Feb. 5, Food Evolution is recalling approximately 6,806 pounds of ready-to-eat dip and salad products containing meat that didn’t undergo federal inspection. The affected products were produced between Nov. 9, 2020 and Jan. 29, 2021 and have use-by dates through Feb. 6, 2021. The products subject to recall also have the establishment number “EST. 34309” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations throughout the state of Illinois. The recall came about after “FSIS personnel discovered that the establishment produced amenable product at an off-site facility without the benefit of federal inspection, then repackaged and labeled the products with the USDA mark of inspection at the federal establishment.” The FSIS is classifying this as a Class I recall, which means it’s “a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.” While there have been no confirmed reports of any health issues as a result of people consuming the Food Evolution items as of now, the FSIS 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.“ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb Read on for the recalled products you need to remove from your fridge, and for another potentially dangerous staple in your kitchen, check out If You Have This Coffee at Home, the FDA Says Get Rid of It Now.
