Plain-English summary

Food Evolution, a Schiller Park, Illinois establishment, is recalling approximately 6,806 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) dip and salad products containing meat. The affected items were produced on various dates from November 9, 2020, through January 29, 2021, and have “USE BY” dates through February 6, 2021. The specific products subject to recall include 31-oz. and 18-oz. containers of Taco Dip With Refried Beans, Chili, Sour Cream, Cheddar, Onions, Black Olives, Jalapenos, & Red Pepper; 7-oz. containers of Tri-Colored Italian Style Rotini Pasta Salad with Salami; and 8-oz. containers of German Style Potato Salad with Bacon. These products bear establishment number “EST. 34309” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to retail locations in Illinois.

The recall was initiated after FSIS personnel discovered during routine verification tasks that the establishment produced amenable product at an off-site facility without the benefit of federal inspection. The products were subsequently repackaged and labeled with the USDA mark of inspection at the federal establishment. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
