Misbranding
WASHINGTON, July 6, 2018 Tillamook Country Smoker, LLC, a Bay City, Ore. establishment, is recalling approximately 102 pounds of ready-to-eat beef jerky products due to misbranding, the U.S. Department of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The beef jerky products may contain monosodium glutamate (MSG) that is not declared on the finished product labels.
The ready-to-eat teriyaki beef jerky items were packaged and produced on June 7, 2018. The following products are subject to recall: [View Label (PDF only)]
The products subject to recall bear establishment number 9295 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
These items were shipped to distribution centers in Utah and North Carolina.
The problem was discovered on July 5, 2018 by the firm during a routine label review. Specifically, the firm produced Old Fashioned Silver Dollar Beef Jerky products with case code 81471, and inadvertently labeled the products within the case with the Teriyaki Beef Jerky label. The Old Fashioned Silver Dollar Beef Jerky contains monosodium glutamate (MSG), but the Teriyaki Beef Jerky does not.
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.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms are notifying their customers of the recall and that actions are being taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
