Meat and poultry sfihas recalled over lack of inspection


WOW Frozen Food LLC, of Plantation, FL, is recalling approximately 488 pounds of meat and poultry sfihas products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

FSIS is concerned that some products may be in retailers’ and consumers’ freezers.

The problem was discovered during routine FSIS surveillance activities when various frozen sfihas meat and poultry products that did not have the USDA mark of inspection were observed at a retail location. Upon further investigation, FSIS determined that the products were not produced in an FSIS-inspected establishment.

These items were shipped to retail locations in Florida and sold through Instagram.

The frozen, not-ready-to-eat sfihas items were produced on various dates since Oct. 2022. 

Recalled products:

  • 260-g. pouch bag containing 5 pieces of “WOW SFIHAS CALABRESA Brazilian Kielbasa.”
  • 260-g. pouch bag containing 5 pieces of “WOW SFIHAS QUEIJO BACON Cheese with Bacon.”
  • 260-g. pouch bag containing 5 pieces of “WOW SFIHAS FRANGO CATUPIRY Cream Cheese Chicken.”
  • 260-g. pouch bag containing 5 pieces of “WOW SFIHAS CARNE Beef.”

As of the posting of this recall, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a response should contact a healthcare provider.

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
