•  136-oz (8.5-lbs) plastic bags containing approximately 100 pieces of “TOP TASTE CHICKEN & VEGETABLE DUMPLINGS.”The products subject to the recall have the establishment number “EST. 19856” inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to wholesalers throughout New York.

The FSIS classified the recall as Class I, which means it “is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.” There have been no confirmed reports of any adverse reactions from consumers.
