WASHINGTON, July 20, 2011 - Malcolm Meats, a
Northwood, Ohio, establishment is recalling approximately 4,530
pounds of various marinated beef products because of misbranding
and undeclared allergens. The products contain known allergens,
wheat and soy, which are not declared on the label, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
announced today.
The products subject to recall include: [View Labels (PDF Only)]
- 10-lb cases containing 16, 10-ounce packages of “STEAK
SIRLOIN ANG CC AUSSIE H-CH,” with the identifying case code
of “6778708.”
- 10-lb cases containing 20, 8-ounce packages of “STEAK
SIRLOIN AUSSIE CAB,” with the identifying case code of
“0648683.”
- 10-lb cases containing 16, 10-ounce packages of “STEAK
SIRLOIN AUSSIE CAB,” with the identifying case code of
“0648691.”
- 10.5-lb cases containing 14, 12-ounce packages of “STEAK
SIRLOIN AUSSIE CAB,” with the identifying case code of
“8415721.”
- 10-lb cases containing 20, 8-ounce packages of “STEAK
SIRLOIN CULOTTE CH AUSSIE,” with the identifying case code
of “0651299.
The products subject to recall bear the establishment number
“EST. 2106” on the case label. These products were produced on
various dates prior to April 20, 2011, and were shipped to
distribution centers in Ind., Mo., and Ohio, for institutional
use.
The problem was discovered by the company during a routine label
audit, and may have occurred because wheat and soy were not
listed as ingredient components in the marinade seasoning blend
used in the product. FSIS and the company have received no
reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these
products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a
healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks (including
at restaurants) to verify recalling firms notify their customers
of the recall and to ensure that steps are taken to make certain
that the product is no longer available to consumers.
Consumers with questions about the recall should contact the
company’s President, Jerry Pasquale at 419-666-0702. Media with
questions about the recall should contact Charley Wilson at
281-584-2423.

Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and
