USDA FSIS: Public Health Alert
Public Health Alert is a warning FSIS issues when there is a food-safety concern but a recall is not requested, typically because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (cashews) and misbranding, which fits the rubric for High severity (score 3) as no illnesses have been reported.
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for 10-oz. containers of “Wegmans Chicken Korma with Basmati Turmeric Rice” with a Best By date of 08 NOV 2023. The products were produced by Cafe Spice LLC on November 8, 2022, and bear establishment number P-34641. The alert was issued because the products are misbranded; they are labeled as chicken korma but may actually contain vegetable tikka masala with turmeric rice. The vegetable tikka masala contains cashews, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The affected products were shipped to retail locations in New York and Pennsylvania. The issue was identified after the producing establishment received consumer complaints noting that the product labeled as chicken korma contained vegetable tikka masala. FSIS notes that a formal recall was not requested because the products are believed to no longer be available for purchase, though some may remain in consumer freezers.
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 an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
