SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A San Francisco-based pasta company is pulling thousands of pounds of its frozen meat and poultry tamale products from stores because they contain an allergan that is not listed on the label.
The United States Department of Agriculture says Homestead Pasta Company is recalling 144,633 pounds of the frozen meat and poultry products because they contain the undeclared allergan whey.
The USDA says whey is a known dairy allergen.
The products were produced from April 2010 until January 2011 and shipped for retail sales in California, Oregon and Washington and for institutional use in California.
The USDA says the meat and poultry products were sold in cases, with individual packages within the cases marked with the establishment number “P-4994” or “EST. 4994” inside the USDA mark of inspection.
