Plain-English summary
A Tu Gusto, LLC, a Lehigh Acres, Florida firm, is recalling approximately 7,630 pounds of frozen meat and poultry croquette products. The recall involves four 32-oz. box varieties: Paladar Pollo (Chicken), Paladar Chorizo (Sausage), Paladar Pescado (Fish), and Paladar Jamon (Ham) Croquetas (Croquettes). These products were produced between April and October 2024 and have a shelf life of 6 months.
The products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and contain soy, sesame seed, and wheat, which are known allergens not declared on the product label. The items bear a USDA mark of inspection with establishment number “EST. 11154,” which was wrongly used by the recalling firm. The plant associated with that number had no knowledge it was being used by A Tu Gusto, LLC. The problem was discovered during FSIS surveillance activities at a retailer that observed labeling irregularities.
The products were shipped to a distributor, retail stores, and restaurants in Florida and Texas. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers, retailers, and restaurants are urged not to consume the products and should throw them away. Consumers with questions can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-MPHotline (888-674-6854) or the company contact Jose Garcia at [email protected].
