Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Coco's Italian Market is recalling approximately 16,868 pounds of various ready-to-eat frozen meat products, including Italian meatballs, beef ravioli, and pepperoni pizzas. These products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and may be labeled with unauthorized USDA marks of inspection. No adverse reactions have been confirmed to date, but consumers who have these items in their freezers should not eat them.

Risk

These products were manufactured without federal food safety oversight, meaning they did not undergo the necessary inspections to ensure they are safe for consumption and meet health standards. Consuming uninspected meat products poses a potential health risk as they have not been verified to be free of contamination or processed under sanitary conditions.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected products by checking for 16-oz. bags of 'Fully Cooked Italian Meatballs', 15-oz. containers of 'Take - n - Bake BEEF RAVIOLI WITH LUCIANA'S MARINARA SAUCE', or 7-in. and 16-in. 'Take - n - Bake Hand Made Pepperoni Pizza' produced between January 2019 and July 2020.
  2. Check the USDA mark of inspection on the label; affected products will not have an establishment number printed inside the circle.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact Coco's Italian Market at (615) 573-2319 or via email at chuck.cinelli@gmail.com for further instructions.
