Ready Pac Precautionary Voluntary Recall on Apples

You may have heard about a precautionary voluntary recall by Ready Pac’s Missa Bay facility involving apples, and we want to ensure you have information about what we’re doing.  We care about the well-being of our customers and are doing what’s right.

There have been no confirmed cases of illness associated with this recall.

As soon as we were notified by our supplier about a potential issue, we took immediate action in an abundance of caution.  We proactively stopped serving all existing apple products from the Missa Bay facility and removed them entirely from our restaurants and distribution centers.  Affected products and areas of the country are listed below.

While we may be out of stock for a brief period, we are actively replenishing supply in our restaurants.  Any apples currently in our restaurants are not affected by this recall.
