The Chili Station, a Ludlow, Mass. establishment, is recalling approximately 3,800 pounds of chili products because they may have been produced without the benefit of federal inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.
The following products are subject to recall:
5 gallon containers and 1-gallon bags of "The Chili Station" Beef Chili with Beans
5 gallon containers and 1-gallon of "The Chili Station" Beef Chili with Beans and/or Turkey Chili
Case labels or packaging may bear the establishment numbers "EST. 6380" or "P-6380" inside the mark of inspection or simply ink-jetted on the case label, and the products were sold in Massachusetts. The problem was discovered during a routine Food Safety Assessment conducted by FSIS. FSIS has received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products.
