The recall is for about 2,237 pounds of meat and poultry pasta products. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions to the company to date in connection with the consumption of these products.
These products were produced on various dates ranging from October 5, 2019 to March 12, 2021. You can see the long list of products that are being recalled at the USDA web site, along with the package size, brand, and best by/use by dates.

FSIS is concerned that some of these products may be frozen in consumers’ home freezers. Please check your freezer carefully to see if you have any Avanza Pasta beef and poultry pasta items with those specific package sizes and best by/use by dates that are on that long list. If you do, do not eat them. You can throw them away in a sealed container, or take them back to the store where you purchased them for a full refund.
FSIS is conducting recall effectiveness checks. If a retail distribution list is issued, it will be posted on the FSIS web site.
