Plain-English summary

Blue Grass Quality Meats, an Erlanger, Kentucky establishment, is recalling approximately 121,083 pounds of pork bacon and ready-to-eat turkey products. The recall was issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The affected products contain soy, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels.

The recalled items include various weights of shrink-wrap and vacuum-sealed packages of Blue Grass, Olde World, Robinsons, and Troyer brand Cajun style turkey breast and bacon. These products were produced on various dates from October 29, 2018, to November 19, 2019. The issue was discovered when the company's seasoning supplier notified them that a proprietary seasoning, which was not supposed to contain soy, actually contains soy lecithin.

The products bear establishment number P-7417 or EST. 7417 inside the USDA mark of inspection. They were shipped to retail locations in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia, where the turkey products may have been offered as retail-sliced deli product. 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. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Retailers are urged not to sell the remaining stock. Consumers with questions can contact Blue Grass Quality Meats or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
