Prepackaged Meal Kits Recalled

WASHINGTONThe USDAs Food Safety and Inspection Service announced that Traditions, a Pearl, Miss., firm, is recalling an undetermined amount of various boxed prepackaged meal kits that contain separate portions of instant nonfat dried milk, which was previously recalled.

Due to potential Salmonella contamination, FDA recalled instant nonfat dried milk products on June 28, 2009. Although the nonfat dried milk product already has been recalled, the master boxes that contain various prepackaged meal items, bear the USDA mark of inspection on the outside of the box.

The recall involves boxes of "TRADITIONS MEAL SOLUTIONS" prepackaged meal kits and boxes of "ILSmeals Home Meal Delivery Service" prepackaged meal kits.

Each box contains approximately two to 12 meals; the final shipping containers bear the establishment number "EST. 18350" and/or "P-18350" within the USDA mark of inspection printed on the side of the box.

The prepackaged meals were distributed nationwide to various food distributors and regional nutrition service providers; the meals were not available for consumer purchase.
