Frozen Buffalo Chicken Recall: Highest Risk Warning Over Food Safety
Key Points:
- Shanghai Ravioli Corporation is recalling about 24,900 pounds of frozen Buffalo chicken products, including Buffalo Chicken Rangoon and Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Sticks, due to production without federal inspection, as announced by the USDA's FSIS.
- The recall covers products produced between July 8, 2025, and June 29, 2026, with "Sell By" dates through June 29, 2027, and these items were distributed to foodservice locations in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
- The products bear a false inspection mark (EST. 18004), and FSIS classifies this as a Class I recall, indicating a reasonable probability of serious health risks or death from consumption.
- No illnesses have been reported so far, but FSIS advises foodservice providers to discard or return the products and warns consumers to seek medical advice if they experience symptoms.
- This recall follows other high-risk food safety alerts this year, including a recent FDA recall of GreenWise organic frozen berries due to potential E. coli contamination linked to a multistate outbreak.
