WASHINGTON – No reports of illness have been made following two recalls involving beef, pork and chicken products, the Food Safety Inspection Service of the US Department of Agriculture reported.
Los Angeles-based Royal Frozen Food is recalling about 3,821 lbs. of beef and chicken blintzes because milk, a known allergen, was not declared on the product labels, FSIS said. A label review by FSIS personnel uncovered the problem.
