WASHINGTON, June 6, 2012 - Windsor Quality Food Co., a Toluca, Ill. establishment, is recalling approximately 96,408 pounds of meat lasagna products that contain egg and soy, both known allergens that were not declared on the product labels.
The products subject to recall are:
- Retail cartons of “Safeway Select Five Cheese Lasagna” with a package code of April 4, 2013.
- Shipping cases of “Safeway Select Meat Lasagna” with a Best By date of April 4, 2013.
The products subject to recall were produced on April 4, 2012, and were shipped to retail establishments in Alaska, California, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Idaho, Maryland, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Texas, Washington, and Virginia.
The problem was discovered when the company received two consumer complaints. The problem may have occurred as a result of the meat lasagna product being inadvertently packaged in a cheese lasagna carton. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions associated with consumption of these products. Individuals concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and to ensure that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
