Plain-English summary
K. Heeps, Inc., an Allentown, Pennsylvania establishment, is recalling approximately 152,010 pounds of frozen, pureed roast beef products. The recall was initiated due to misbranding and the presence of undeclared allergens, specifically milk and wheat, which are not listed on the product labels.
The affected products include CafePuree Meat Variety Pack, CafePuree Savory Roast Beef, Sysco Imperial Meat Variety Pack, and Sysco Savory Roast Beef. These items were produced between December 18, 2014, and November 20, 2015, and bear establishment numbers EST. 9379 or EST. 9379A. The products were shipped to distributors in Pennsylvania and exported to Canada for institutional use. The issue was identified by FSIS personnel during in-plant verification activities, which determined that a vegetable flavoring used in the products may contain the allergens.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction, injury, or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
