USDA FSIS: Public Health Alert
Public Health Alert is a warning FSIS issues when there is a food-safety concern but a recall is not requested, typically because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.
This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work
What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling (undeclared wheat) on common allergens, which corresponds to a severity score of 3 per the rubric, as no illnesses or injuries have been reported.
Plain-English summary
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on March 1, 2022, for various ready-to-eat (RTE) meat products. These products contain a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulated seasoning mix that was recalled by the producer, PS Seasoning of Iron Ridge, Wisconsin, due to concerns that the mix may contain undeclared wheat.
The issue was identified when FSIS-inspected establishments received notification from their seasoning supplier regarding the potential presence of undeclared wheat. The affected products come from various establishments and bear specific USDA establishment numbers, including EST. 44972, EST. 46312, EST. 44869, EST. 47243, EST. 46777, EST. 51257, or EST. 8681. Some retail products from EST. M-47484 do not bear a USDA mark of inspection. Specific items listed include Rocky Mountain General Store and Meats Sweet BBQ Seasoned Sticks, Bob’s Processing Honey BBQ Seasoned Chicken Wings, Bob’s Processing Honey BBQ Snack Sticks, and Main Street Meat Company Hickory Smoked Meat Snack Sticks. Some of these products were distributed nationwide.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. FSIS and FDA are coordinating on this issue, and the situation is evolving, meaning additional products may be added to the alert. 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.
