Plain-English summary

R&R Provision Company Inc., an Easton, Pennsylvania establishment, is recalling approximately 23,040 pounds of breaded veal products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on December 15, 2016. The affected products include various sizes of breaded veal steaks and patties produced between April 14, 2016, and November 17, 2016.

The recall is due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products contain whey and nonfat milk, which are known allergens, but these ingredients are not declared on the product labels. The issue was discovered on December 14, 2016, by FSIS Inspection Program Personnel during routine labeling verification activities. The establishment had received a letter from their breading supplier specifying new ingredients, but this change was not reflected on the final product labels.

The products were shipped to restaurants in Pennsylvania and New Jersey and sold at the establishment's retail store. 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.
