WASHINGTON, D.C. — Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc., Springville, Utah establishment, is recalling around 15,388 pounds of heat-treated shelf-stable ready-to-eat beef jerky/beef snack stick products and voluntarily inspected elk, venison and buffalo jerky products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Friday. The product contains fish, more specifically anchovies, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The beef jerky and beef stick items were produced on various dates from May 30, 2023, to May 30, 2025. The multiple product labels and lot codes associated are subject to recall:
The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “EST. 20528” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered during production observations by FSIS inspectors, revealing that the Worcestershire sauce used in jerky and snack stick products contained anchovies. The establishment previously used Worcestershire sauce without anchovies, but it was discovered that the new Worcestershire sauce does contain anchovies.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ pantries. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution lists will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
