Venezuelan Brand Cheese Empanada recall

Recalled by Gc Food Factory, LLC · Miami, FL, United States

Class I — High risk. Reasonable probability of serious harm or death.

Why it was recalled

Undeclared Wheat

What was recalled

Venezuelan Brand Cheese Empanada, Cheese/Queso, Ready to Cook, Tio Simon by Miami Fine Foods, Keep Frozen

Quantity: 120 packages

Food: Cheese

Lot codes, dates and UPCs

Lot Number: CHZ-2200809 Exp. Date: 08/08/2023

Where it was sold

FDA's distribution note: US distribution only.

Do not eat it. Class I means FDA judged there is a reasonable probability of serious illness or death. If the brand, size and lot or date code on your package match, throw the product away or return it to the store for a refund, and clean any surface or container it touched. If anyone has eaten it and feels unwell, contact a doctor and mention the recall. The risk from an undeclared allergen is to people allergic to wheat; for anyone else the product is generally not a safety concern. FDA lists this recall as terminated: 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.
