Venezuelan Brand Cheese Empanada, Cheese/Queso, Ready to Cook, Tio Simon by Miami Fine Foods, Keep Frozen

Gc Food Factory, LLC recalled Venezuelan Brand Cheese Empanada, Cheese/Queso, Ready to Cook, Tio Simon by Miami Fine Foods, Keep Frozen in a Class I action — the FDA's most serious tier, reserved for products with a reasonable probability of causing serious health consequences or death on Aug 15, 2022.

The FDA listed the reason as an undeclared allergen: "Undeclared Wheat" Allergen mislabeling is the leading cause of U.S. food recalls, because a missing declaration can trigger a reaction in someone who reads the label and believes the product is safe.

Distribution was limited; the FDA record lists "US distribution only." Single-area recalls still warrant a kitchen check for anyone who shops within that footprint. The recalling firm is based in Miami, FL. The recall covers 120 packages of product. The FDA has Terminated this recall (first reported Sep 28, 2022), its final lifecycle state, indicating the agency considers the corrective action resolved. The historical record remains useful for tracking a brand's recall pattern over time.
