WASHINGTON, D.C. (KVOA) – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for ready-to-eat beef jerky products on Friday.
In a news release, the USDA said the alert was due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen.
"FSIS is issuing this public health alert out of the utmost of caution to ensure that consumers with allergic reactions to anchovies are aware that these products should not be consumed. This is a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product because of the presence in a product of very small amounts of the undeclared allergens are typically associated with milder human reactions. A recall was not requested because the products are not currently available for sale to consumers," the USDA said.
According to the USDA, the product may contain anchovies, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
