Home Maid Ravioli Company recalls 38,950lb of meat and pasta products in the US

San Francisco-based Home Maid Ravioli Company has recalled 38,950lb of meat, poultry ravioli and pasta products, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The products have been recalled as a result of misbranding and undeclared allergens. Some of these contain pork or whey, a known allergen. Both of these have not been declared on the product labels.

Moreover, these products were manufactured without any federal inspection.

Home Maid Ravioli Company produced its ravioli and pasta products on various dates between 18 September 2015 and 20 January 2016.

Some of the products recalled include 15oz cardboard boxed packages containing 54 pieces of ravioli, 12oz cardboard boxed packages of ravioli, 5lb and 10lb bagged and boxed packages of ravioli with sauce and 12oz cardboard boxed packages containing 24 pieces of deluxe ravioli.

Other products that were recalled included 12oz cardboard boxed packages containing 24 pieces of jumbo deluxe ravioli, 12oz cardboard boxed packages containing 24 pieces of jumbo ravioli, 12oz cardboard boxed packages containing 48 pieces of ravioli seasoned with sausage and 12oz cardboard boxed packages containing 24 pieces of ravioli seasoned with chicken.

These items were shipped to wholesale and retail locations in California.

The problem was discovered by FSIS during a review of products at a different federal plant. Although the company operates under the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the products subject to recall contain meat and poultry, which are under the FSIS.

There have been no reports of adverse reactions yet due to consumption of these products.

FSIS and the company urged consumers concerned about an injury or illness to contact a healthcare provider as this has been classified as a Class I recall.
