The USDA announced a recall of Power Plate Meals due to undeclared milk and soy allergens. Learn how to identify affected products by lot code and what to do next.
The USDA announced a recall of Power Plate Meals on Tuesday, citing undeclared milk and soy allergens in several varieties. The recall was triggered by consumer complaints and routine testing that revealed the presence of these allergens not listed on product labels. For individuals with allergies or sensitivities to milk or soy, consuming these meals could result in serious or life-threatening allergic reactions.
The recall is classified as a Class I recall, meaning there is a reasonable probability of serious health consequences, said a USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) spokesperson.
The affected products were manufactured by a single production facility and distributed nationwide. The company has halted production of the implicated batches and is cooperating with FSIS investigators. No other Power Plate Meal varieties are affected at this time.
Recall applies to Power Plate Meal products with lot codes ranging from L24200 to L24300 and “Best By” dates between June 2025 and August 2025. These codes are printed on the back of each package. Products were sold at major retailers including Walmart, Target, and Amazon, as well as through the brand’s direct-to-consumer website.
Consumers should check their pantry immediately. The full list of affected UPCs and product descriptions is available on the USDA FSIS website. If you have a Power Plate Meal that falls within the specified date range but does not have a lot code visible, contact the company for verification.
Similar to how traceability systems in other industries help track issues – as explored in our article on how AI is transforming crime detection – lot codes are critical for pinpointing affected batches in food recalls.
If you have a Power Plate Meal matching the recalled lot codes and dates, do not consume it. Even if you have not experienced a reaction, allergen levels can vary between batches, and the risk remains. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, or dispose of it immediately in a way that prevents others from eating it.
If you experience symptoms of an allergic reaction – hives, swelling of the lips or throat, difficulty breathing – seek medical attention immediately and report the incident to the USDA FSIS hotline at 1-888-MPHotline.
For consumers who follow food safety alerts, staying informed is key. The rise of digital awareness campaigns – a trend covered in the future of influencer marketing – has made recall information more accessible than ever. Sign up for FSIS email alerts to receive immediate notifications.
