Our severity reasoning: The agency classified this recall as Class I — a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. On that classification alone this is scored Severe; a score of Critical is reserved for recalls where a death or serious injury was reported. The agency gives the reason as: "Produced Without Benefit of Inspection"

Plain-English summary

Panna Cafe Express To Go Inc., a North Miami Beach, Florida establishment, is recalling approximately 1,951 pounds of various meat and poultry products. The recalled items include heat-treated, not fully cooked, and not shelf-stable products such as ham-filled breads, empanadas, and pastels. These products were produced and packed between June 2, 2016, and August 17, 2016.

The recall was initiated because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and used USDA marks of inspection without authorization. The issue was discovered when FSIS personnel visited the uninspected facility after the company applied for a federal grant of inspection that had not yet been approved. The products bear establishment number EST. 40245 or P-40245 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The affected products were shipped to food service, distributors, and retail locations in Florida. 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.
