A popular Nashville, Tenessee restaurant and grocery is recalling nearly 17,000 pounds of ready-to-eat frozen meat products, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced. The federal agency said the products being recalled weren’t inspected by the USDA and are issuing a recall for 16,868 pounds of various frozen food. The frozen Italian meatball, beef ravioli and pepperoni pizza items were produced on various dates from January 2019 through July 2020.
The problem was uncovered when the local authorities observed products produced by Coco’s Italian Market in retail locations labeled with the federal marks of inspection. Representatives of the state department also noticed other labeling issues, such as the omission of net weight on the pepperoni pizza product, a news release said.
The USDA said there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. People who bought the recalled items shouldn’t consume them and instead should trash them or return them.
