Recall alert: USDA issues warning for beef jerky products containing fish allergen
Approximately, 15000 pounds of beef Jerky and snack sticks have been recalled due to undeclared fish allergens.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)'s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on June 3 that more than 15,388 pounds of beef jerky and beef snack sticks, would be recalled due to undeclared allergens.
Utah's Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc., is voluntarily recalling beef, elk, venison, and buffalo jerky products; as the ready-to-eat food products contain food, which was not declared on the labels.
