Somerset, N.J.-based Red Square Foods has announced the recall of an undetermined amount of various frozen meat and poultry ravioli and blintzes products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens.

The products contain eggs, milk, and/or wheat, all known allergens, which are not declared on the product label. The frozen not-ready-to-eat meat and poultry products were produced and packaged from October 6, 2016, through October 24, 2018.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 18874” or “P-18874” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

The problem was discovered by FSIS inspectors during routine label verification activities. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Consumers who have purchased the products should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Boris Rapoport, CEO of Red Square Foods, Inc., at 732-846-0190.
