The products subject to recall bear establishment number “M- 47285” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to Minnesota, Montana, and North Dakota retail locations.

The mistake was discovered during routine FSIS testing when in-plant personnel identified and verified that the product contained soy, which was not declared on the label.

There have not yet been any confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to ensure that the product is no longer available to consumers.
