Federal authorities say a western New York food company is recalling more than a ton of beef and cheese pies because they weren't subject to federal inspection and pose a health risk.
BUFFALO (AP) --
The U.S. Department of Agriculture says Cantina Foods of Buffalo distributed about 2,375 pounds of the "Beef and Cheese Pastellios"
It says cartons containing four clear plastic bags containing six, 4-oz. servings of the product were sold from Oct. 3 through Nov. 20 to retail outlets in the Buffalo region, including some convenience stores that sold the pies from heat trays.
The FDA says its food safety investigators had found a problem with Cantina's program for preventing Listeria contamination.
It says it hadn't gotten any reports of illness as of Tuesday.
