Plain-English summary

Cloverdale Foods Co., a Mandan, North Dakota establishment, is recalling approximately 2,664 pounds of beef franks due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The affected products are 16-oz. packages and 12 lb. cases of Cloverdale Meats “Seattle Mariners Beef Franks.” The recall was initiated because the products were formulated with non-fat dry milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.

The products were produced on November 23 and December 13, 2013, with use-by dates of February 21 and March 13, 2014, respectively. They bear the package codes “Use by 2-21-14” or “Use by 3-13-14” and the establishment number “Est. 7603” inside the mark of inspection. The products were sold to retail establishments in Montana, North Dakota, and Washington State.

The issue was discovered by the company during an internal label review, which revealed that a newly designed label included an incorrect ingredient statement. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
