WASHINGTON, February 28, 2011 -
Piccadilly Fine Foods, a Santa Clara, Calif.,
establishment, is recalling approximately 775 pounds of
chicken and mushroom pie products because they may
contain an undeclared allergen, egg, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
announced today. Egg is a known allergen, which may have
not been declared on the label.
The following products are subject to recall: [Label]
- 12-lb. cases of "Piccadilly Fine Foods Chicken
and Mushroom Pastie," with each case containing 24
individual packages.
The individual packages weigh 8 ounces each and say
"Keep Frozen" on the label. The label also bears the
establishment number "P-9216" inside the mark of
inspection. Listed on the cases and individual packages
are lot codes 213-10 through 365-10 and 001-11 through
056-11.
The chicken and mushroom pies were produced on various
dates between Aug. 1, 2010, and Feb. 25, 2011. Note that
some products subject to recall during this time frame
are correctly labeled in that they do include "egg" in
the ingredient statement. The "Chicken and Mushroom
Pasties" that do not list "egg" are subject to recall.
The products were shipped to distributors in California,
Colorado, Florida and Texas for further distribution to
retail outlets.
The problem was discovered by FSIS personnel during a
routine label review. It was determined that while the
label was approved with "egg" in the ingredients
statement, some of the final product labels did not have
it listed. FSIS and the company have received no reports
of adverse reactions due to consumption of these
products. Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction
should contact a physician.
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. If
available, the retail distribution list(s) will be
posted on the FSIS Web site at at www.fsis.usda.gov/
FSIS_Recalls/Open_Federal_Cases/index.asp.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall
should contact the company representative David Hansen
at (408) 246-1200.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available
24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline
1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time)
Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day.
