Vocci Italian Food Products of Kansas City, Mo. establishment is recalling
approximately 2,025 pounds of lasagna products because they contain undeclared allergens: bread crumbs made with eggs. There have been no reports of adverse reactions associated with the consumption of these products. Anyone with concerns should contact a healthcare provider.
The products were produced on various dates between Nov. 16, 2012 and May 8, 2013 and sold to foodservice institutions in the Kansas City, Kan. and Kansas City, Mo. metropolitan area. They were not sold in retail grocery stores.
The products under recall are: 5-lb. steamer tin pans of “VOCCI ITALIAN FOODS BEEF LASAGNA” with the establishment number “EST. 5789” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the label and 20-lb. cases containing four, 5-lb. steamer tin pans of “VOCCI ITALIAN FOODS BEEF LASAGNA” with the establishment number “EST. 5789” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the label.
The problem was discovered by an inspector from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA FSIS) who conducted a label after FSIS published Notice 29-13 which is intended to protect vulnerable consumers form undeclared allergens. The notice was created after FSIS observed an increase in the number of products recalled for undeclared allergens between 2008 and 2012.
