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 common allergens (soy and sesame), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 (High) per the rubric, as no illnesses have been reported.
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for a frozen, not-ready-to-eat ham croquette product. The alert was issued because the product contains soy and sesame, which are known allergens, but these ingredients are not declared on the product label. The product was produced by Croquetas La Mary LLC in April and May 2025 and shipped to distributor locations in Florida. The issue was discovered during routine in-plant labeling verification activities when it was found that the establishment used a different breadcrumb ingredient than normally used.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers' freezers. The specific product affected is sold in 1.96-lb. boxes labeled "HAM CROQUETTES Las que si tienen el sabor cubano A TASTE OF CUBA CROQUETAS DE JAMÓN" with expiration dates of November 2025, December 2025, or January 2026. The product bears establishment number EST. 2725 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
Consumers who have purchased this product are urged not to consume it. The product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an adverse reaction should contact a healthcare provider. A formal recall was not requested because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.
