FSIS thinks that some of these products may be in consumers’ freezers. The government is conducting retail effectiveness checks to make sure that the firm is notifying their customers about this recall, and that the recalled products are no longer available on store shelves. If a retail distribution list becomes available, details will be posted on the USDA web site.
