Check the codes, then return or discard. Class II means eating it may cause temporary or reversible health problems. If your package matches the recalled codes, do not eat it - return it to the store or throw it away. FDA lists this recall as completed: the company has finished removing the product, so it should no longer be on shelves - but it can still be in a freezer or pantry.
