Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co. has announced a voluntary recall of over 15,000 pounds of beef jerky and beef snack sticks due to the presence of an undeclared allergen. The recall was initiated to comply with food safety regulations and to protect consumers who may be at risk of allergic reactions.
According to the company, the products were distributed nationwide and may contain a known allergen that was not disclosed on the product labels. While specific allergens were not named in the initial announcement, undeclared allergens commonly include substances such as soy, wheat, milk, or nuts, which can have serious, potentially life-threatening consequences for sensitive individuals.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is overseeing the recall process and is working closely with Springville Meat & Cold Storage to remove the affected products from market shelves. Consumers who have purchased the recalled items are advised not to consume them and should either discard the products or return them to the point of purchase for a refund.
As of now, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions related to the consumption of these products. However, the company has urged customers with concerns to contact their consumer hotline for further information.
This incident underscores the importance of accurate food labeling and adherence to allergen disclosure practices in packaged food production. Regulatory agencies continue to emphasize strict compliance in order to safeguard public health.
Consumers can check the FSIS website or Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co.’s official communication channels for updates, including details on the specific product names, lot numbers, and expiration dates involved in the recall.
