According to the FSIS, Conagara Brands in Pennsylvania is recalling approximately 2,871 pounds of the product labeled as chicken and rice,  but which contained beef ravioli.  The product was produced and packaged on Jan. 16, 2019, the organization announced.

The recalled items include 7.5 oz. canned microwavable bowls of “Chef Boyardee rice with chicken & vegetables” on the label, and a package code of 210090151050045L, and ‘Best By’ date of Jul082020 on the bottom of the bowl. The products subject to recall have the establishment number “EST. 794” on the bottom of the bowl.

The problem was discovered on March 8 when the company received complaints that bowls of microwave beef ravioli were mislabeled as “chicken with rice & vegetables,” prompting the recall. No reports of adverse reactions or incidents have been reported due to consumption of the items.               

The recall has been assigned as a “Class I,” which means “it is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”
