Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Q'Delicia is recalling approximately 639 pounds of ready-to-eat beef and chicken empanadas because they were produced without federal inspection and distributed without an ingredient list. The empanadas were produced between February 2023 and October 2023 and sold in 1.25-lb. and 6.25-lb. plastic bags. While no illnesses have been reported, these products are considered unsafe for consumption as their production was not monitored by health authorities.

Risk

Because these products were made in a facility not inspected by the USDA, there is no verification that the food was handled, prepared, or stored safely, which may pose a health risk to consumers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for 1.25-lb. and 6.25-lb. plastic bags of 'Q’Delicia DE EMPANADA BEEF', 'Q’Delicia DE EMPANADA MEAT GLUTEN FREE', 'Q’Delicia DE EMPANADA CHICKEN', or 'Q’Delicia DE EMPANADA CHICKEN GLUTEN FREE'.
  2. Look for products purchased between February and October 2023; note that these packages will not have any lot codes, expiration dates, establishment numbers, or the USDA mark of inspection.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer or supplier for further instructions.
  4. If you have questions for the manufacturer, contact Alejandro Gallego, Manager at Q’Delicia, via email at deliciascolombianasjax@outlook.com.
  5. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety questions.
