The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert about the consumption of ready-to-eat (RTE) meat and poultry bowl products from Taylor Farms.

The regulator warned of contamination with extraneous material, specifically glass.

FSIS noted that Dallas-based Taylor Farms produced the RTE meat and poultry bowl goods on 5-6 October.

The products subject to the public health alert are 10oz plastic bowl package containing ‘Meal Simple Spaghetti Squash and Alfredo with Chicken’, 10oz plastic bowl package containing ‘Meal Simple Spaghetti Squash with Chicken & Pesto’ and 10oz plastic bowl package containing ‘Meal Simple Spaghetti Squash and Pepperoni’.

FSIS also issued the public health alert for 11oz plastic bowl package containing ‘Meal Simple Spaghetti Squash and Meatballs’.

A Taylor Farms employee identified the issue, discovering pieces of glass in a product during manufacture.

Bearing an establishment number ‘P-34733’ or ‘EST 34733’ within the USDA mark of inspection, the products were shipped to retail locations in San Antonio and Houston, Texas.

The regulatory agency added that it is issuing this public health alert out of caution to ensure that consumers are aware that these products should not be consumed.

FSIS noted that a recall was not initiated as these products are no longer available for consumers to purchase.

FSIS stated its concern that some products may be in restaurant freezers, advising restaurants not to serve these items. It urged consumers not to consume them and return to the place of purchase.
