Breaking News: A Frozen Meal Recall You Need to Know About!
Shoppers, listen up! If you recently purchased a specific frozen meal from Target, you need to check your freezer. A popular product is being pulled from shelves nationwide due to a hidden ingredient that could pose a serious health risk to some consumers.
One Frozen, a company based in Rochester, New York, has issued a recall for over 57,000 bags of their Steam-in-Bag Southwest-Style Burrito Bowl Blend. The reason? The product contains undeclared shrimp, a potential allergen, which wasn't listed on the product label. This means that individuals with shellfish allergies could experience an allergic reaction if they consume this meal.
This recall affects the 12-ounce bags of the frozen burrito bowl blend, which were distributed in all 50 states through Target stores, starting on April 17th.
Here's what you need to look for:

The company initiated the recall after receiving three consumer complaints regarding the potential presence of shrimp in the product. Thankfully, as of September 10, 2025, no illnesses had been reported.

If you have purchased the recalled burrito bowl, the company advises that you do not consume it. You can obtain a refund by calling Target at 800-440-0680.
