Plain-English summary

Holiday Foods, a Hollywood, Florida establishment, is recalling approximately 1,819 pounds of beef, chicken, and pork products. The recall is due to misbranding and the potential presence of peanuts, a known allergen, which are not declared on the product labels. The affected products include Peruvian Brand Marinated Beef for Brochett, Chicken Taquitos, Mango Chutney Chicken Samosa, and Beef and Manchego Cheese Empanada.

The products were produced between August 5 and December 8, 2014, and bear the establishment number EST. 18074 inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to wholesale distributors in Illinois, Indiana, Florida, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Texas. The issue was discovered when Holiday Foods was notified by its spice supplier that the cumin in a spice mix used to formulate the products may have been contaminated with peanuts.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Holiday Foods consumer affairs at (877) 301-6691 between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. (CST) Monday through Friday. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
