The product comes in various sizes in both air packs and vacuum packages. The lot number or sell by date are placed on the back of the package. The products were found to be processed under unsanitary conditions.
The problem was discovered through FDA routine inspection. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.
