"There's almost a daily cycle of seeing food recalls in the news, though some are more extreme than others. One day, you're seeing butter recalled because milk wasn't listed as an allergen, and the next day, you're seeing freeze-dried fruit recalled for potential Listeria contamination. In 2021, a popular frozen pasta manufacturer named Avanza Pasta was subject to a massive recall that affected nearly 10,000 pounds of its products, which puts it pretty high up there on the "extreme" scale."
"On March 20, 2021, the USDA issued an official recall on "approximately 9,847 pounds of meat and poultry pasta products" manufactured by Avanza Pasta due to the products being produced "without the benefit of federal inspection." The recall affected frozen pasta products created between October 5, 2019, and March 12, 2021, though several products on the full recall list displayed manufacture dates into the beginning of 2022."
On March 20, 2021, the USDA recalled approximately 9,847 pounds of frozen meat and poultry pasta products manufactured by Avanza Pasta because they were produced without federal inspection. The recalled items were created between October 5, 2019, and March 12, 2021, and some listed manufacture dates into early 2022. Products lacked an establishment number and the USDA mark of inspection, making them easy to identify. Items were sold in retail stores and served at restaurants in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. Consumers were urged to throw away or return affected products. Avanza Pasta is an Illinois-based brand that also manufactures products for several other packaged brands.
