Recall of Lorraine Quiche Products Due to Import Inspection Oversight

Maître Saladier Inc., a Quebec-based company, is recalling approximately 6,000 pounds of Lorraine Quiche products containing pork after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) discovered that these items entered the United States without undergoing the required import reinspection. The affected products were produced on April 9 and April 17, 2025, and consist of 19.8-pound cardboard boxes labeled “Lorraine Quiche (with pork) La Madeleine,” packaged in metal trays wrapped in plastic. These products do not bear a USDA mark of inspection and have expiration dates of April 8, 2028, and April 16, 2028.

The recalled quiche items were distributed to various states, including Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, North Carolina, and Texas. FSIS officials have expressed concern that some of the products may still be stored in consumer refrigerators or freezers due to their long shelf life. Consumers who purchased the quiche are advised not to consume it and to either discard the product or return it to the place of purchase. FSIS is actively verifying that distributors and retailers have been properly notified and that the products are no longer available to consumers.

FSIS identified the issue during routine import surveillance activities aimed at ensuring that foreign-produced foods meet U.S. safety standards. While there have been no confirmed reports of illness linked to the recalled quiche, the agency emphasizes the importance of consumer awareness regarding food safety.

The recall comes in the wake of heightened scrutiny over food safety practices, particularly following last year's outbreak of listeria-contaminated food products that resulted in illnesses and deaths. This context has led to increased vigilance in monitoring food imports, as underscored by the Cobb County Courier's commitment to report any significant food recalls, especially those affecting Georgia.
