Plain-English summary

Taylor Farms Northwest, LLC is recalling approximately 79 pounds of meatloaf products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The recall involves two products: Turkey Meatloaf with Kale and Homestyle Meatloaf. The Turkey Meatloaf with Kale contains milk and fish (anchovies), which are not declared on the label. The Homestyle Meatloaf contains beef and pork, which are also not declared on the label.

The issue was discovered when a broker notified the firm that the ingredient labels on the bottom of the packages were incorrect due to improper placement. The Turkey Meatloaf with Kale products displayed the ingredients statement for the Homestyle Meatloaf, failing to declare milk and anchovies. Conversely, the Homestyle Meatloaf products displayed the ingredients statement for the Turkey Meatloaf with Kale, failing to declare beef and pork. The products were produced on December 4, 2016, and shipped to retail locations in Oregon and Washington.

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.
