Plain-English summary

Blossom Foods, LLC, an Oakland, California establishment, is recalling approximately 15,092 pounds of frozen beef, chicken, and pork products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on August 26, 2017. The affected products include various cases of Barbequed Beef, Barbeque Beef, Savory Beef, Sesame Chicken, Spanish Beef, Barbeque Pork, Breakfast Sausage, Beef, and Chicken and Dumplings.

The recall is due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products contain soy and wheat, which are known allergens, but these ingredients are not declared on the product labels. The issue was discovered on August 22, 2017, when FSIS Inspection Program Personnel observed that the establishment used soy protein concentrate and wheat flour in production without declaring them on the finished product labels. The products were produced between August 23, 2016, and August 23, 2017, and bear establishment number EST. 51200 or P-51200 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

These items were shipped to institutional locations in California and Ohio. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
