WASHINGTON, June 9, 2019 – Taylor Farms Illinois, Inc., a Chicago, Ill. establishment, is recalling approximately 51 pounds of cheese and bacon quiche products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

• 10-oz. individual plastic containers containing “JARLSBERG & BACON QUICHE” with lot code TFIL156A001 and “USE BY: 06/11/19.”

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 21794” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

The problem was discovered on June 8, 2019 when Taylor Farms Illinois, Inc. notified FSIS that the incorrect bottom package label had been applied to the product.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.  

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators. 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.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms are notifying their customers of the recall and that actions are being taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
