Key points
- USDA recalled 24,900 pounds of chicken products.

Product Recall Issued
On August 26, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced a recall of 24,900 pounds of chicken products. The affected items are two types of frozen, not-ready-to-eat Buffalo chicken-flavored products: "Buffalo chicken rangoon" and "Benedetto’s Buffalo chicken mozzarella sticks."
These products were distributed by Boston-based Shanghai Ravioli Corporation, Inc. and primarily impact foodservice businesses in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
Reason for Recall
The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) initiated the recall after surveillance found that the products carried "false marks of inspection" with the code "EST. 18004." This indicates that the chicken products were produced without undergoing the required federal inspection process.
Potential Health Risks
The FSIS classified this as a Class I recall, which signifies a high or medium risk. This classification is used when there is a reasonable probability that consuming the product could lead to serious adverse health consequences or death. Products produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants.
Guidance for Businesses
The agency has urged businesses that may have received these products not to serve them. Instead, they should discard the products or return them to the place of purchase to prevent any potential health hazards to consumers.
