Plain-English summary

Abbyland Foods, Inc. is recalling approximately 11,800 pounds of frozen turkey meatballs that are incorrectly labeled as turkey sausage patties. The recall was initiated due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen, soy, which is not listed on the product label. The affected products were produced on March 3, 2023, and are identified as 5-lb. unlabeled bags in 10-pound labeled boxes of "Jennie-O FULLY COOKED TURKEY SAUSAGE PATTIES" with lot code 06223.

The issue was discovered when a food service customer reported finding turkey meatballs instead of sausage patties after opening a box. The meatballs contain soy protein concentrate, while the label does not declare soy as an ingredient. These products bear establishment number P-17764 and were shipped to hotels, restaurants, and institutions nationwide.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Institutions are urged not to serve these products and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions can contact Abbyland Foods or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
