Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Approximately 250 promotional Chicken of the Sea Genova Meal Kits are being recalled because certain components were prepared in a home kitchen that did not meet required food safety and quality standards. These kits contain various food items including dry whole wheat pasta, dried basil and parsley, two cans of Genova Tuna, pesto, Kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, and dates. The recall affects 241 kits distributed to consumers and 9 kits sent to Chicken of the Sea staff across 12 states. Consumers should not consume the contents of these kits and should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Products prepared in a residential kitchen for commercial distribution bypass essential safety inspections and quality controls, which may lead to improper sanitation or the presence of foodborne pathogens. While no illnesses have been reported, the lack of standardized safety oversight poses a potential health risk to consumers.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have the affected product: Chicken of the Sea Genova Meal Kit, which contains dry whole wheat pasta, dried basil and parsley, 2 cans of Genova Tuna, pesto, Kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, and dates.
  2. Check the packaging for 'No codes' — these promotional kits do not have specific lot numbers or expiration dates printed on them.
  3. Stop using and do not consume any part of the Genova Meal Kit immediately.
