Plain-English summary

WOW Frozen Food LLC, a Plantation, Florida establishment, is recalling approximately 488 pounds of frozen meat and poultry sfihas products. The affected items are not ready to eat and were produced on various dates since October 2022. The specific products subject to the recall are 260-gram pouch bags containing five pieces each of WOW SFIHAS CALABRESA Brazilian Kielbasa, WOW SFIHAS QUEIJO BACON Cheese with Bacon, WOW SFIHAS FRANGO CATUPIRY Cream Cheese Chicken, and WOW SFIHAS CARNE Beef.

The recall was initiated after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) discovered during routine surveillance that the products lacked the USDA mark of inspection. Further investigation confirmed that the items were not produced in an FSIS-inspected establishment. These products were shipped to retail locations in Florida and sold through Instagram.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
