Exotic Meats USA Recalls Elk Tenderloin: May Contain Meat Derived From Elk With Chronic Wasting Disease

February 10, 2009 By The FDA Leave a Comment

CONTACT: EXOTIC MEATS USA 1-800-680-4375

EXOTIC MEATS USA OF SAN ANTONIO, TX IS INITIATING A VOLUNTARY RECALL OF ELK TENDERLOIN BECAUSE IT MAY CONTAIN MEAT DERIVED FROM AN ELK CONFIRMED TO HAVE CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD). THE MEAT WITH PRODUCTION DATES OF DECEMBER 29, 30 AND 31, 2008 WAS PURCHASED FROM SIERRA MEAT COMPANY IN RENO, NV.  THE INFECTED ELK CAME FROM ELK FARM LLC IN PINE ISLAND, MN AND WAS AMONG ANIMALS SLAUGHTERED AND PROCESSED AT USDA FACILITY NOAH’S ARK PROCESSORS LLC.

CHRONIC WASTING DISEASE (CWD) IS A FATAL BRAIN AND NERVOUS SYSTEM DISEASE FOUND IN ELK AND DEER. THE DISEASE IS CAUSED BY AN ABNORMALLY SHAPED PROTEIN CALLED A PRION, WHICH CAN DAMAGE THE BRAIN AND NERVES OF ANIMALS IN THE DEER FAMILY. CURRENTLY, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE PRION RESPONSIBLE FOR CAUSING CWD IN DEER AND ELK IS NOT CAPABLE OF INFECTING HUMANS WHO EAT DEER OR ELK CONTAMINATED WITH THE PRION, BUT THE OBSERVATION OF ANIMAL-TO-HUMAN TRANSMISSION OF OTHER PRION-MEDIATED DISEASES, SUCH AS BOVINE SPONGIFORM ENCEPHALOPATHY (BSE), HAS RAISED A THEORETICAL CONCERN REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION OF CWD FROM DEER OR ELK TO HUMANS.  AT THE PRESENT TIME, FDA BELIEVES THE RISK OF BECOMING ILL FROM EATING CWD-POSITIVE ELK OR DEER MEAT IS REMOTE.  HOWEVER, FDA STRONGLY ADVISES CONSUMERS TO RETURN THE PRODUCT TO THE PLACE OF PURCHASE, RATHER THAN DISPOSING OF IT THEMSELVES, DUE TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS.

EXOTIC MEATS USA PURCHASED 1 CASE OF ELK TENDERLOINS WEIGHING 16.9 LBS. THE ELK TENDERLOIN WAS SOLD FROM JANUARY 16 – 27, 2009. THE ELK TENDERLOINS WAS PACKAGED IN INDIVIDUAL VACUUM PACKS WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 3 POUNDS EACH.  A TOTAL OF SIX PACKS OF THE ELK TENDERLOINS WERE SOLD TO THE PUBLIC AT THE EXOTIC MEATS USA RETAIL STORE.  CONSUMERS WHO STILL HAVE THE ELK TENDERLOINS SHOULD RETURN THE PRODUCT TO EXOTIC MEATS USA AT  1003 NE LOOP 410, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78209.  CUSTOMERS WITH CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THE VOLUNTARY ELK RECALL CAN CALL 1-800-680-4375.  THE SAFETY OF OUR CUSTOMER HAS ALWAYS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE OUR NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

EXOTIC MEATS USA REQUESTS THAT FOR THOSE CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE PRODUCTS WITH THE PRODUCTION DATES IN QUESTION, DO NOT CONSUME OR SELL THEM AND RETURN THEM TO THE POINT OF PURCHASE.  CUSTOMERS SHOULD RETURN THE PRODUCT TO THE VENDOR.  THE VENDOR SHOULD RETURN IT TO THE DISTRIBUTOR AND THE DISTRIBUTOR SHOULD WORK WITH THE STATE TO DECIDE UPON HOW BEST TO DISPOSE.  IF THE CONSUMER IS DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT HE/SHE SHOULD CONSULT WITH THE LOCAL STATE EPA OFFICE.
