FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Mrs. Pasta, a Fort Lauderdale establishment, announced Monday the recall of more than 4,544 pounds of frozen meat products that were produced without inspection.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the frozen not-ready-to-eat meat pasta items were produced from August 2023 through October 2023.  

The products recalled have a bear establishment number “EST. 45764” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to a distributor, retailers, and restaurants in Florida.     

FSIS discovered that the meat pasta products were labeled with the USDA mark of inspection but with an establishment number for another facility. FSIS determined that the firm produced the meat pasta products without benefit of federal inspection.

No illnesses have been reported or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
