Misbranding; Unreported Allergens
WASHINGTON, April 20, 2023 – Bruno Beef Strips, a Monroe, Wis. establishment, is recalling approximately 7,452 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) snack stick beef strips due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product contains hydrolyzed soy protein, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The RTE snack stick beef strip items were produced from April 20, 2022, through April 4, 2023. The following products are subject to recall [view labels]:
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 373SEWI” inside the USDA mark of inspection. This establishment is a Wisconsin state-inspected plant which participates in USDA’s Cooperative Interstate Shipment (CIS) program, under which state-inspected plants can operate as federally inspected facilities and ship their products in interstate commerce. These items were shipped to retail and wholesale locations in Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin.
The problem was discovered when State of Wisconsin Department of Agriculture inspection personnel notified FSIS that they identified that the establishment utilized a spice mix, which contains hydrolyzed soy protein, in the formulation of snack stick beef strips. The final product labels on the packaging do not declare the soy ingredient, a known allergen.
