Plain-English summary
Jerky By Art, an establishment in Albuquerque, New Mexico, is recalling an undetermined amount of Claude's Beef Jerky with Red Chile. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on September 12, 2014.
The products are being recalled because they were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and are misbranded with undeclared allergens, specifically wheat and anchovies. The recalled items are vacuum-packed plastic bags, primarily 4-oz bags, though other sizes may exist. The packaging displays the establishment number iEST. 34270 inside the USDA Mark of Inspection. There are no identifying dates or codes on the packaging, so all products produced prior to September 12, 2014, are subject to the recall. The products were sold primarily over the internet.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Mr. Arthur Sandoval at (505) 262-0240. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
