FSIS public health alert,

LA Boulangerie Turkey Pesto & Swiss Cheese Pockets

Frozen ready-to-eat turkey stuffed pastry products are mislabeled, as some boxes contain ham and cheese instead.

Public health alert, not a recall. Still check yours.

What happened

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on March 13, 2026, for frozen ready-to-eat turkey stuffed pastry products due to misbranding. Some boxes of the turkey, pesto, and cheese stuffed pastries contain ham and cheese instead. A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase. There have been no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

The affected product is 25.4-oz. boxes containing eight pieces of "LA Boulangerie Turkey Pesto & Swiss Cheese Pockets" with lot code 04926 and "best by" date 02/18/27 printed on the packaging. The products bear establishment number "P-51243A" inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to Costco locations across the Midwest.

The problem was discovered when the establishment notified FSIS that it received two consumer complaints regarding turkey and cheese stuffed pastry boxes containing ham and cheese instead. FSIS is concerned that some mislabeled product may be in consumers' freezers. The product may be returned to the place of purchase.
