WEST FARGO, North Dakota, June 23, 2026, 03:23 CDT
- Power Plate Meals recalled around 5,795 pounds of its frozen meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes after finding soy wasn’t listed on the label.
- Distributors in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota received the products. Some could still be in home freezers.
- Soy can be a risk for people with allergies, though there have been no confirmed adverse reactions reported.
Power Plate Meals LLC recalled about 5,795 pounds of frozen meatloaf with garlic mashed potatoes after U.S. food-safety regulators flagged undeclared soy in the product. The recall affects frozen meals made over almost a year by the West Fargo, North Dakota company.
The issue is in focus now as the recalled meals have “use by” dates from June 25, 2026, to June 10, 2027. That raises the possibility people still have them in home freezers. The Food Safety and Inspection Service, under the USDA, said it is concerned some packages remain in consumers’ freezers. Food Safety News
USDA recall covers certain 13.3-ounce “POWER PLATE MEALS MEATLOAF WITH GARLIC MASHED POTATOES” in vacuum-sealed plastic trays, marked with establishment number “217SEND” in the USDA mark. Affected shipments went to distributors in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota. Allrecipes
Misbranding in this situation refers to packaging that failed to tell consumers about what’s actually in the food. Here, soy was not listed, though it’s one of nine major allergens under U.S. labeling rules, according to the .
Frozen meatloaf produced between June 25, 2025, and June 10, 2026, is under recall. A state inspector told FSIS the product’s final label missed soy in the ingredients.
USDA’s FSIS still has the recall listed as active and labels it “Low – Class II” over undeclared allergens. Class II recalls usually mean less risk of serious harm than a Class I, but products must still be pulled. Food Safety and Inspection Service
The recall notice said no confirmed reports of adverse reactions tied to the meals. Consumers who purchased the recalled product should not eat it, and are told to throw it out or return it to where they bought it.
The risk isn’t food going bad. It’s that the warning is missing. Someone with a soy allergy could eat the product, thinking the label lists everything, since soy doesn’t affect how the meal looks or smells.
Power Plate Meals told customers to use its customer service email, hungry2help@powerplatemeals.com, for questions. The USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854 is also available for food-safety concerns or via the federal complaint portal.
The risk is recalled meals could stay in freezers for months since best-by dates run into 2027 and the product went out to regional distributors, not a single retailer named in the recall. A faster outcome would be distributors and customers spot the packages promptly, with no allergic incidents reported.
