ConAgra
Foods Packaged Foods, LLC, a Council Bluffs, Iowa establishment, is
recalling approximately 84,340 pounds of two beef products due to
misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
|
The products were inadvertently formulated with Worcestershire sauce
and may contain fish (anchovies), a known allergen that is not
declared on the product label.
The frozen beef items were produced between April 13 and April 14,
2016. The following products are subject to recall:
14-oz. box of “Marie Callender’s Salisbury Steak with Roasted
Potatoes and Home-Style Gravy served with Cheesy Broccoli &
Cauliflower” with package code of 5014610500 and packaging date of
April 14, 2016.
76-oz. package of “Molly’s Kitchen Macaroni & Beef with Tomato
Sauce” with package code of 5014610400 and packaging date of
April 13, 2016.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 1058”
inside the USDA mark of inspection. The Marie Callender’s item was
shipped to retail distribution centers nationwide and the Molly’s
Kitchen item was shipped to an institutional customer nationwide.
The problem was discovered when the establishment became aware of an
error associated with a shipment of Worcestershire sauce. The
Worcestershire sauce was miscoded as Rochester sauce and the
establishment subsequently used the miscoded sauce in the recalled
products.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to
consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or
illness should contact a healthcare provider.
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.
