Plain-English summary

Coco's Italian Market, a Nashville, Tennessee establishment, is recalling approximately 16,868 pounds of various ready-to-eat frozen meat products. The affected items include Italian meatballs, beef ravioli, and pepperoni pizzas that were produced between January 2019 and July 2020. These products were shipped to retail locations in Tennessee.

The recall was initiated because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. Although the packaging displayed a USDA mark of inspection, the products did not bear an establishment number inside the mark. The issue was identified by the Tennessee Department of Agriculture, which also noted other labeling issues, such as the omission of net weight on the pepperoni pizza product.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to 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.
