King’s Command Foods of Kent, Washington, is recalling about 20025 pounds of King’s Command meatballs and pork patties because they may contain eggs, milk, and/or wheat, three of the nine major food allergens, that were not declared on the label. That means that anyone who is allergic to those ingredients, or who is lactose intolerant or has celiac disease, could have a serious reaction if they eat these products. No allergic reactions or illnesses have been reported to the company to date in connection with the consumption of these items.
These fully cooked, not shelf stable meat and poultry items were produced on January 8, 2021, January 15, 2021, and March 3, 2021. These are the recalled items:

The problem was discovered when the company learned that allergen-containing ingredients may have commingled with the recalled products that do not normally contain those ingredients. FSIS is making sure that the recalling firm is notifying customers about this recall.
