Plain-English summary

A & A Finest, a Corona, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 572 pounds of frozen pork and shrimp dumpling products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall on Feb. 21, 2018. The product contains egg, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The frozen, ready-to-cook pork and shrimp dumpling items were packaged on various dates between May 2, 2017 and December 6, 2017.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
