ACC Central Kitchen is recalling approximately 64,008 pounds of pork bun products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service said the product contains sesame, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The frozen not ready-to-eat soupy pork bun with crab roe items were produced on various dates dating back to 11/28/2023. The following products are subject to recall. FSIS has classified it as a Class I recall, the highest threat level.
The recall includes:
-
8.45-oz. sleeve tray packages of 3 Meals A Day SOUPY PORK BUN WITH CRAB ROE with the following range of lot codes: 052625-090626.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number EST. 40031 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations in New York.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS in-plant verification activities when FSIS inspection personnel noticed that the sesame ingredient used in the pork buns was not declared on the product label.
