WASHINGTON, July 27, 2012 – Tony
Downs Foods Company, a Madelia, Minn., establishment is
recalling approximately 70,500 pounds of premium chunk chicken
due to mislabeling and an undeclared allergen, the U.S.
Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
announced today. The products may actually contain ‘Beef with
Gravy.’ The canned beef product contains wheat, an allergen not
declared on the canned chicken label.
The product subject to recall is:
-
12.5-oz. cans of “Tyson Premium Chunk Chicken.”
The incorrectly labeled products subject to recall bear the code
date of “8965 248A 12139” and “Best by May 18, 2015” ink-jetted
on the bottom of each can. Each label bears the number P-65
inside the USDA mark of inspection. Correctly labeled cans are
inkjetted with the code “1392TDM4600” and “P65” beneath a “Use
By May 18 2015” date and are not subject to recall.
These products were produced on May 18, 2012, and were
distributed to retail establishments nationwide.
The problem was discovered after the firm received customer
complaints that the product was incorrectly labeled. 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 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 Tyson Consumer Hotline at 866-328-3156. Media with
questions about the recall should contact. Tyson Public
Relations Manager, Worth Sparkman, at 479-290-6358
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a
day at AskKaren.gov . The
toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline
(1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be
reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through
Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a
day. |
