Nearly 25,000 pounds of frozen buffalo chicken products that were produced without the benefit of inspection are being recalled, the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on Wednesday.
Boston-based Shanghai Ravioli Corporation is recalling about 24,900 pounds of frozen, not-ready-to-eat buffalo chicken products.
The recalled items include cardboard boxes containing 100 pieces of “Buffalo Chicken Rangoon” and cardboard boxes with 120 pieces of “Benedetto’s Buffalo Chicken Mozzarella Stick.”
The affected chicken products have sell-by dates from July 8, 2026, to June 29, 2027, displayed on the label.
The food items were produced on various dates from July 8, 2025, to June 29, 2026.
The frozen foods were shipped to food service locations in Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
FSIS said it is concerned that some recalled products may be in foodservice refrigerators or freezers. Foodservice locations that have purchased these products are instructed not to serve them.
The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS said the products linked to the recall bear false marks of inspection with establishment number “EST. 18004,” which does not have a federal grant of inspection.
Food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants that put consumer health and safety at risk, FSIS said.
The issue was discovered during FSIS surveillance activities, the agency said.
There have been no confirmed reports of illness or injury linked to the consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness or injury is urged to contact a healthcare provider.
