Plain-English summary
Puritan Foods Co., Inc., a Boston, Massachusetts establishment, is recalling approximately 2,476 pounds of raw boneless turkey breasts. The recall was issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The product contains milk, which is a known allergen, but this ingredient is not listed on the product label.
The affected product consists of raw boneless turkey breasts of various weights with pack dates of June 11 and July 18, 2014. These items bear the establishment number iP-5933 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The product was distributed to a local distributor, which then sold it to hotels, restaurants, and institutions in the New England area.
FSIS personnel discovered the issue while checking product labels. The source materials used on the dates in question were declared as "butter basted," but this detail was not carried over to the finished product label. Since milk is a sub-ingredient in butter, it must be noted on the label. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
