Plain-English summary

Al Shabrawy Meat Inc., a South River, N.J. establishment, is recalling an undetermined amount of meat and poultry products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The recall includes basterma, sausage, soujouk, salami, mortadella, makanek, bologna, and Lahmajun produced between January 1, 2015, and August 4, 2016. This action expands a previous recall to include all package sizes and brands of these products from that period.

The products contain pistachio nut and soy, known allergens, which are not declared on the product labels. Additionally, FSIS found that beef salami and bologna contained poultry ingredients, a sausage product contained undeclared Red Dye #40, and raw beef trim designated for cooking only was used in raw non-intact finished products. The products bear establishment number EST. 19160 and 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 should check their pantries for the specific products listed in the recall notice and contact a healthcare provider if they are concerned about an injury or illness.
