WASHINGTON – The U.S Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for a frozen product labeled as Chicken Curry Empanadas.
FSIS said in its release that the product may actually contain Apple Cinnamon Empanadas which contain milk, a known allergen.
The product is labeled as such:
“bettergoods TRADITIONALLY CRAFTED Chicken Curry Empanadas” with “BEST BY: 05/21/26” or “BEST BY: 05/22/26” and “EST. P33967” on the side of the box.
The products bear establishment number “P33967” on the side of the box. These items were shipped to Walmart locations nationwide, the release said.
FSIS said the health alert was issued after complaints to a distributor indicated the products were misbranded with an undeclared allergen.
There have been no reports of illnesses, according to the release.
