The Noble Spoon Recalls Chicken and Beef Products Produced Without Benefit of Inspection

Agency Publication Date: January 30, 2016

Summary

The Noble Spoon is recalling approximately 289 pounds of ready-to-eat beef and chicken entree products, including items like Chicken Carbonara, Meatloaf, and Enchiladas sold in plastic trays. These items were produced on January 27 and 28, 2016, and shipped to retail locations in Marin and Sonoma counties in California. The recall was issued because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and do not bear the required USDA mark of inspection.

Risk

Consuming meat or poultry products that have not undergone federal inspection poses a risk because there is no assurance that the items were produced under sanitary conditions or are safe for human consumption. While no adverse reactions have been reported, these products are considered adulterated due to the lack of inspection oversight.

What You Should Do

Immediately stop consuming any of the affected Noble Spoon chicken or beef entrees.
Check the back of the packaging for 'Sell-by' dates of '02 03' or '02 04' to identify if your product is part of the recall.
Dispose of the affected products immediately or return them to the retail store where they were purchased.
Contact Charles Lindner, company director of nutrition services, at (707) 525-0143, ext. 131 if you have specific questions about the products.
If you have additional food safety questions, contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
