Plain-English summary
Santana's Black Label Gourmet Beef Jerky, a Glendale, Arizona establishment, is recalling approximately 295 pounds of beef jerky products. The recall involves four specific varieties: Heaven, Smokey Robinson, Hatcho .357, and Super Mario, all in 2.8-oz. plastic bag packages. These products were produced on May 25, 2016, June 1, 2016, and June 26, 2016, and bear BEST BY dates of May 25, 2017, June 1, 2017, or July 1, 2017.
The recall was initiated because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and used the USDA mark of inspection without authorization. The items bear a false establishment number (EST. 090115) inside the mark of inspection. Products produced on June 26, 2016, may not bear the mark of inspection. The affected items were shipped to distributors and retail locations in Arizona.
FSIS was alerted to the issue by a third-party source. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions, illnesses, or injuries due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
