The recall applies to Boston Market Home Style Meals’ boneless pork rib shaped patty with BBQ sauce and mashed potatoes, which were produced by Jackson, Ohio-based Bellisio Foods.

Affected meals were produced between Dec. 7, 2018, and Feb. 15, 2019, and feature the establishment number “EST. 18297” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the carton flap.

“FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’ freezers,” the agency said in the press release. “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.”

The frozen meals were distributed to a Department of Defense facility in Tucson, Arizona, and retailers across the U.S.

“Boston Market confirmed with the manufacturer, Bellisio Foods, that it was undertaking all necessary steps to promptly recall the frozen entrée product,” a Boston Market spokesperson said in a statement. “It is Boston Market’s understanding that there have been no confirmed reports of injury or illness with respect to this frozen entree product. Consumers who have purchased this frozen entrée product should throw it away or return it to the place of purchase.”
