The affected items include Mrs Pasta Short Ribs Ravioli, Mrs Pasta Veal Ossobuco Ravioli squared, Mrs Pasta Veal Ossobuco Ravioli Halfmoon, and Mrs Pasta Tortellini Bolognese. These products were produced from August 2023 through October 2023 and bear establishment number EST. 45764 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

FSIS determined that the firm produced the meat pasta products without the benefit of federal inspection. The products were shipped to a distributor, retailers, and restaurants in Florida.
