Mountain View Packaging, LLC, Recalls 6,013 Pounds of Crispy Chicken with Almonds Entrée Products - 12/16/22
Dec. 15, 2022 – Mountain View Packaging, LLC, a Boise, Idaho, establishment, is recalling approximately 6,013 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat Crispy Chicken with Almonds entrée products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product contains shellfish (shrimp), a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The frozen, ready-to-eat Crispy Chicken with Almonds entrée products were produced Nov. 17, 2022. The following product is subject to recall (pdf):
*18.5 oz packages of “INNOVASIAN Crispy Chicken with Almonds ENTREE” with lot code 22321-1, UPC code 695119120499, and a best by date 05/24/2023.
The product subject to recall bears the USDA mark of inspection but does not bear the establishment number on the packaging. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered when the firm notified FSIS that they received a consumer complaint reporting shrimp in a product labeled as Crispy Chicken with Almonds entrée.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ or retailers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and retailers are urged not to sell them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
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.
Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the InnovAsian Cuisine hotline at 1-800-324-5140. Members of the media with questions about the recall can contact Sunshine Morrison, Radiance Communications, at sunshine@radiancecom.com.
