Summary of Recall:  Rich Products Corporation today announced in cooperation with U.S. Department of Agriculture it is voluntarily recalling various heat treated, not fully cooked frozen mini meals and snack items due to possible E. coli O121 contamination.

This condition can occur among persons of any age but is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults.
