The problem was discovered when the manufacturer, Ruiz Food Products Inc., of Florence, South Carolina, notified FSIS of three consumer complaints involving pieces of white, semi-rigid plastic found in the product.
There have been no confirmed reports of injuries due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS officials say they are concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and to either throw them away or return to the place of purchase.
