What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves an undeclared common allergen (peanuts) in food products, which meets the rubric criteria for a High severity score (3), despite the source noting a remote probability of adverse health consequences and no reported illnesses.
Plain-English summary
Gourmet Kitchen, Inc., a Neptune, N.J. establishment, is recalling approximately 16,722 pounds of various beef and chicken products due to adulteration, misbranding, and an undeclared allergen. The products contain peanuts, a known allergen, at very low levels that pose a remote probability of adverse health consequences. The affected items are ready-to-cook beef and chicken appetizers produced between October 15, 2014, and March 2, 2015.
The recall includes bulk packages of specific beef and chicken items such as Beef Wellington Puff, Beef Satay, and Macadamia Chicken Skewer. These products bear the establishment number EST. 18450 or EST. 18450 P inside the USDA mark of inspection. The items were shipped to institutional and food service locations nationwide.
The issue was identified after the company's spice supplier notified Gourmet Kitchen that the season salt in a spice mix used in the products may have been contaminated with peanut allergens from the paprika component. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline or visit AskKaren.gov.
