Misbranding; Unreported Allergens
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17, 2023 - The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for meat and poultry jerky products due to misbranding and undeclared allergen. The product may contain soy, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label. FSIS is issuing this public health alert to ensure that consumers are aware that this product should not be consumed. A recall was not requested because the product is no longer available for purchase.
The meat and poultry jerky items were produced on various dates from Sep. 21 through Nov. 9, 2023. The following products are subject to the public health alert [view labels]:

The problem was discovered by FSIS inspection personnel during a verification task where they discovered that soy was not included on the label.
