Plain-English summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on November 17, 2023, for specific meat and poultry jerky products produced by Pruski's Market, Inc. The alert was issued because the products may contain soy, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels. FSIS notes that a formal recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase.

The affected items include various packages of Pruski’s Market Spicy Beef Jerky, Beef Jerky, and Turkey Jerky, as well as Hooser Custom Meats Beef Jerky and counter-sold jerky items. These products were produced between September 21 and November 9, 2023, and shipped to retail locations in Texas. Some items bear the establishment number EST.19908, while counter-sold items do not bear the establishment number or mark of inspection.

FSIS discovered the issue during a verification task where inspection personnel found that soy was missing from the labels. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to 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.
