The product packaging bears an established number “Est. M45377” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to the retail outlets in Ohio.
The recall came in the wake of FSIS’s concern over some products that were produced and packaged on 19th of October been already purchased by number of consumers. The agency has urged these consumers to not to consume these snacks and either return them to the place of purchase or throw it away.

Anyone concerned over any illness or injury should immediately contact a healthcare provider, urged the regulatory agency.
