Plain-English summary

Al Shabrawy Meat Inc., a South River, New Jersey establishment, is recalling an undetermined amount of meat and poultry products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The affected items include beef bologna, beef salami, mortadella, and other sausage-like products produced between January 1, 2015, and August 4, 2016. These products bear establishment number EST. 19160 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated after a complaint led to an ongoing investigation by the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The investigation found that some products contain pistachio nut and soy, known allergens, which are not properly declared on the product labels. Additionally, the investigation revealed that beef salami and beef bologna products contained poultry ingredients, and a sausage product tested positive for Red Dye #40, which was not declared on the labels. Raw beef trim designated for cooking only was also found in raw non-intact finished products.

The products were shipped to retail locations and wholesalers in California, Florida, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions 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. FSIS and the company note that some product may be frozen in consumers' freezers.
