Each of the recalled products have the establishment number "EST. M1515A" inside the USDA mark of inspection. All eight recalled items were distributed in California, Idaho, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Oregon, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
"The problem was discovered when the establishment determined that allergen-containing ingredients may have comingled with the recalled products that do not normally contain the identified allergens," the recall announcement stated. "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."
The food and safety services division of the USDA reminds people that this product may still be in the freezers of homes and restaurants, or any place that distributes them.
"FSIS is concerned that some product may be in food service freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase," the USDA stated.
