Plain-English summary

US Foods, a Blasdell, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 700 pounds of beef product due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The specific product is 5-lb. cryo packed cases containing two 5-lb packages of BEEF CUT STRIPS FOR FAJITA. The product contains peanuts, which are not declared on the label.

The recalled beef fajita strips were produced on November 25, 2014, December 10, 2014, and December 15, 2014. The products bear the establishment number EST. 7817 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The items were shipped to other US Foods divisions in Norwich, Conn., Peabody, Mass., and Buffalo, N.Y.

The issue was discovered after US Foods received a U.S. Food and Drug Administration alert indicating that the cumin in a spice mix used to formulate the beef fajita strips may have been contaminated with peanut residue. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
