Produced Without Benefit of Inspection, Unreported Allergens. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2024 – A Tu Gusto, LLC, a Lehigh Acres, Fla. firm, is recalling approximately 7,630 pounds of frozen meat and poultry croquette products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and may contain undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.Show full text ▾Produced Without Benefit of Inspection, Unreported Allergens. WASHINGTON, Oct. 29, 2024 – A Tu Gusto, LLC, a Lehigh Acres, Fla. firm, is recalling approximately 7,630 pounds of frozen meat and poultry croquette products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and may contain undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product contains soy, sesame seed and wheat, known allergens, which are not declared on the product label. The frozen meat and poultry items were produced between April and October of 2024 and have a shelf life of 6 months. The following products are subject to recall regardless of expiration date [ view labels ]: 32-oz. box containing “A TU GUSTO PALADAR POLLO (CHICKEN) CROQUETAS (CROQUETTES).” 32-oz. box containing “A TU GUSTO PALADAR CHORIZO (SAUSAGE) CROQUETAS (CROQUETTES).” 32-oz. box containing “A TU GUSTO PALADAR PESCADO (FISH) CROQUETAS (CROQUETTES).” 32-oz. box containing “A TU GUSTO PALADAR JAMON (HAM) CROQUETAS (CROQUETTES).” The products subject to recall bear a USDA mark of inspection, containing the establishment number “EST. 11154,” which was wrongly used by the recalling firm. The plant associated with “11154” had no knowledge it was being used by the recalling firm. These items were shipped to a distributor, retail stores and restaurants in Florida and Texas. The problem was discovered when FSIS was performing surveillance activities at a retailer and observed labeling irregularities. After further investigation it was determined that the items were produced at a facility that does not have a grant of inspection and contained allergens not declared on the product label. Therefore, the items were produced without the benefit of FSIS inspection and are mislabeled. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS is concerned that some product may be in restaurants, retailers’ and consumers’ freezers. Restaurants, retailers and consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away. 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 at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls .
