The problem was discovered by FSIS during a cross-referencing of labels as part of label verification by Agency inspection personnel. The problem occurred as a result of a change in product formulation by the company. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks (including at restaurants) to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and to ensure that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
