WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for frozen product labeled as pork and beef tortellini due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The frozen product labeled as pork and beef tortellini may actually contain pork and beef toasted ravioli, which contains soy and sesame, known allergens, which are not declared on the product label. FSIS is issuing this public health alert to ensure that consumers with allergies to soy and sesame are aware that this product should not be consumed. A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase.

The frozen product labeled as pork and beef tortellini that may contain pork and beef toasted ravioli was produced on May 27, 2025. The following product is subject to the public health alert [view labels]:

16-oz. bag “Schnucks Tortellini PORK & BEEF” with best by date of 05/27/2026 printed at the top of the bag.

The product subject to the public heath alert bears establishment number “EST. 13051” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The item was shipped to a Schnucks distribution center in Missouri and was further distributed to store locations in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Wisconsin.

The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that their sole consignee received a consumer complaint of ravioli product in a bag labeled as tortellini.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
