Plain-English summary

Brazilian Taste, a Lexington, S.C. establishment, is recalling approximately 4,120 pounds of frozen chicken and beef croquette products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The products contain sesame, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. The recall includes three specific package types: 17.63-oz. bags of 5 "SAINT COXINHA XL CHICKEN CROQUETTES," 15.8-oz. bags of 15 "SAINT COXINHA CHICKEN CROQUETTES," and 13.7-oz. bags of 13 "SAINT COXINHA GROUND BEEF CROQUETTE RISOLE DE CARNE." Affected products bear establishment number "P-45640" or "Est. 45640" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The issue was identified after the Food and Drug Administration notified the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that bread crumb ingredients shared between FDA-regulated and FSIS-regulated products at the facility contained sesame that may not have been declared on the FSIS-regulated labels. The chicken croquettes were produced between March 4, 2025, and August 19, 2025, while the beef croquettes were produced on June 2, 2025. These items were shipped to retail locations in Connecticut, Georgia, Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas, as well as nationwide through online sales.

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. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
