A Norwood company is recalling over 53,000 pounds of frozen meatballs because they could contain milk and wheat, ingredients that were not listed on the product label, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Thursday.
The frozen ready-to-eat meatballs containing pork and beef were produced by Home Market Foods Inc., and labeled as "Homestyle Meatballs All Natural," but may contain "Cranberry Stuffed Meatballs" product, according to an FSIS release.
The meatballs contain milk and wheat, known allergens, but weren't labeled as such on the packages, FSIS said.
The recall is for 48 oz packages of "Cooked Perfect Brand Homestyle Meatballs All Natural" with a 'best if used by' date of July 2, 2020 (label). The products were shipped to northeast retail locations, including Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine and Connecticut.
FSIS says no adverse reactions to the product have been reported and the issue was discovered after a consumer complaint about the mislabeling.
Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Dawn Bourget at Home Market Foods at 781-948-1559.
