Plain-English summary
Buffalo Provisions, a Bronx, N.Y. establishment, is recalling approximately 48,210 pounds of chorizo products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The products may contain peanuts, a known allergen that is not declared on the product label. The recall includes various vacuum and loose butcher packages of Brooklyn Cured Chicken Chorizo, La Centro Americana Chorizo Salvadoreno, and multiple El Casero chorizo varieties.
The issue was identified after Buffalo Provisions was notified by its spice supplier that the cumin in a spice mix used to formulate the products may have been contaminated with peanut allergens. The affected products were produced between October 9 and January 15, 2015, and bear the establishment number EST. 4312 or P-4312 inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to retail and wholesale locations in Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions can contact the company or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
