Food Recall: USDA Issues Health Alert Over Chicken And Beef Samoas

The Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a food recall due to concerns over chicken and beef samosas products manufactured by Tee Yih Jia (TYJ) Food Manufacturing.

The products, which contain spring roll pastries, have been recalled over an undeclared allergen and misbranding, according to a press release by the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The chicken and beef samosas that are being recalled were produced between Nov. 11, 2019, through Nov. 11, 2020. The products were then shipped to Texas, New York and California.

The products have the establishment number “EST. 44163” or “P-44163” inside of the USDA mark of inspection.

The recalled products include 12-oz packages containing 12 pieces of Taza Chicken Samosas, 12-oz. packages containing 12 pieces of Taza Beef Samosas, 12-oz. packages containing 12 pieces of South Asian Food Beef Samosas, and 12-oz. packages containing 12 pieces of South Asian Food Chicken Samosas.

In the announcement, the USDA advised against consuming the product and instead encouraged customers to throw out the Samoas or return them to the place of purchase.

This marks the fourth food recall for the month of November by the USDA, CNN reports. Earlier in the month, food recalls were issued for chicken and pork tamales by Tucson Tamale Wholesale Co, Wegmans Beef Culinary Stock No Salt Added, and plastic containers of “Take Home Meals Spaghetti & Meatballs in Marinara Sauce.”
