Nearly 15,092 pounds of chicken, pork, and beef products are being recalled by Blossom Foods, LLC because of undeclared allergens and misbranding, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The company, which is based in Oakland, California, decided to issue the recall after the problem was found on August 22 during an FSIS inspection.

During the inspection, an “FSIS Inspection Program Personnel observed that the establishment utilizes a soy protein concentrate in the production of several products, but the finished product labels do not declare soy.” Furthermore, it was discovered that some of the products contain wheat or wheat flour that don’t show up on product labels.

What products are part of the recall, though? For starters, the recall includes “frozen assorted meat and poultry items” produced from “Aug. 23, 2016, to Aug. 23, 2017, and bear an expiration date that is one year from the date of packaging.” Additionally, the establishment number on the recalled products is “EST. 51200” or “P-51200.” The following list of products are included in the recall:

• 6.6-lb. case of “Barbequed Beef, Corn, Baked Beans”
• 5.5-lb. case of “Barbeque Beef”
• 10-lb. case of “Savory Beef”
• 5.5-lb. case of “Sesame chicken
• 10-lb. case of “Spanish Beef”
• 5.5-lb. case of “Barbeque Pork”
• 5.5-lb. case of “Breakfast Sausage”
• 10-lb. case of “Beef”
• 6.5-lb. case of “Chicken and Dumplings, Peas, Rutabaga”

So far it’s been reported that the recalled products were shipped to locations throughout California and Ohio. Fortunately, however, there have been no reports of people suffering an adverse reaction from consuming the products, but if anyone is concerned about falling ill because of the problem they should contact their healthcare provider.

For now, consumers who have the products shouldn’t eat them and should be thrown away or returned for a refund instead.
