Windsor Quality recalls chicken pot pie empanadas in the US

US-based Windsor Quality Food is recalling 11,390lb of chicken pot pie empanadas as they may contain foreign materials, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The products subject to recall include 10lb cases containing four boxes of 27-count Molly’s Kitchen Mini Chicken Pot Pie Empanadas, with a best-before date of 30 August 2012.

They were produced on 30 August 2011 and shipped to one foodservice distributor for further distribution across the US.

The problem was identified by the foodservice distributor, who found pieces of plastic in the product.

According to the company, the problem might have occurred due to a broken piece of equipment that was used in manufacturing.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of illness or injury linked to the consumption of these products.
