WASHINGTON, March 12, 2010 - Fernando's Food Corporation, a Compton, Calif., establishment, is recalling approximately 9,400 pounds of enchilada
products because they were inadvertently mislabeled and contain an undeclared allergen, milk, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service
(FSIS) announced today. Milk is a known potential allergen, which is not declared on the label.
The product subject to recall includes: [View Labels (PDF Only)]
- 9.84-pound cases of "CASA SOLANA BEEF CHICKEN AND TEXTURED VEGETABLE PROTEIN PRODUCT ENCHILADA." Each case contains 90
enchiladas and bears case code numbers "2103745" and "24947," as well as the establishment number "EST. 6492" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The enchilada products were produced on Jan. 28, 2010, Feb. 16, 2010, and Feb. 28, 2010 and were sent to distributors in Ala., Ark., Calif., Tenn., and Texas.
The problem was discovered by the company in a review of its inventory. FSIS has 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.
Consumers with questions regarding the recall should contact Fernando's at 1-800-338-0374. Media with questions regarding
the recall should contact Ira Brill, Director of Marketing, at (209) 394-6891.
