What happened

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert for specific ready-to-eat meal bowls produced by Taylor Farms in Dallas, Texas on October 5-6, 2020. The products may contain glass contamination and include four varieties of "Meal Simple" spaghetti squash bowls with chicken, pesto, pepperoni, or meatballs in 10 or 11-ounce packages. The affected products have specific lot codes (TFD279AU23, TFD280AU23, or TDF280AU23) and best-by dates ranging from October 13-16, 2020, and were shipped to retail locations in San Antonio and Houston, Texas. The products bear establishment number "P-34733" or "EST. 34733."

While a formal recall was not requested because the products are believed to no longer be available for purchase, FSIS issued this alert out of caution since some product may remain in consumers' refrigerators. The contamination was discovered when a Taylor Farms employee found pieces of glass during production. According to the record, consumers who have purchased these products should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.
