Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for frozen ready-to-eat turkey stuffed pastry products due to misbranding. Some boxes of the turkey, pesto, and cheese stuffed pastries contain ham and cheese instead. A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase.
The affected product consists of 25.4-oz. boxes containing eight pieces of “LA BOULANGERIE TURKEY PESTO & SWISS CHEESE POCKETS” with lot code 04926 and a “best by” date of 02/18/27. These items were packaged on Feb. 18, 2026, and bear establishment number “P-51243A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were shipped to Costco locations across the Midwest.
The issue was discovered after the establishment received two consumer complaints regarding boxes containing ham and cheese instead of turkey. There have been no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who purchased this product should check their packaging to see if they have the affected item and may return the product to the place of purchase.
