WASHINGTON, Aug. 16, 2012 – On-Cor Frozen Foods, a Geneva, Ill. establishment, is recalling approximately 605 pounds of frozen boneless rib-shaped patties with barbecue sauce because they may have been mispackaged and labeled as Salisbury steak products, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The products subject to recall include: [View Label]
  • 28-oz. packages of "On-Cor Gravy & 6 Salisbury Steaks made with chicken, pork and beef, Family Size" with the number "EST. 1044G" inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The products, which were produced on July 9, 2012, have a product UPC number of "070575040091" and the following code date located on the right end panel: "BEST BY Jul 09 2013, 1912 11:__ EST 1044G." The products were distributed to retail establishments in Iowa.

The problem was discovered as a result of complaints reported to the company by consumers and may have occurred because of incorrect cartons being interspersed during the packaging process.

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.

Media with questions about the recall should contact the company's Plant Manager, Barney Baillie, at (630) 402-2301. Consumers with questions about the recall should contact the company's Customer Service Manager, Julie Hooghkirk at (630) 692-2241.
