The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 44163” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The boxed items were shipped to retail and deli locations in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. The plastic bag items were donated to community organizations in the Houston, Texas area in May and June 2020.
The problem was discovered when FSIS conducted routine in-plant verification activities and the agency determined that the ground chicken used in the samosas was not federally inspected.
