Consumer complaints spur recall of some Marie Callender’s frozen entrees

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.”

The frozen entrees were produced on June 18. They recalled products are 20-ounce retail cartons containing two portions of “Marie Callender’s PUB STYLE STEAK & ALE.” They have the establishment number “EST. 46299” on the product packaging.
