No confirmed injuries have been reported, but consumers who may have ingested contaminated items should contact a healthcare provider. Recalled items bear establishment numbers P-18356, P-18356B, or P-47971 inside the USDA mark of inspection and have best-by dates from February 28, 2026 to August 19, 2027.
