Michigan Teriyaki Beef and Turkey Recall

April 28, 2011

A Michigan firm, Tri City Cheeses and Meats, Inc. has recalled 87 pounds of Kippered Teriyaki Beef and Turkey because the labels failed to list wheat and soy among the ingredients, which are knows allergens.

The products subject to recall include:

5-oz. and 1 lb. packages of "Troll Smokehouse, Kippered Turkey, Teriyaki Flavor"
5-oz. and 1 lb. packages of "Troll Smokehouse, Kippered Beef, Teriyaki Flavor"

The packages have "EST. 32015" or "P-32015" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were produced between Jan. 1, 2011 and April 26, 2011. The product package code also includes a "sell by date" of May 21, 2011 through Sept. 9, 2011 for the Kippered Turkey, and a "sell by date" of July 9, 2011 through Sept. 2, 2011 for the Kippered Beef. The products were distributed to retail establishments in Michigan.

The problem was discovered by an FSIS inspector during a routine label review at Tri City Cheeses and Meats, and was initiated because of a spice ingredient change to their products. There have been no reports of problems or bad reactions to the Kippered Beef or Turkey. If you're concerned you have been exposed to wheat or soy from these products, you should contact a healthcare provider.

If you have any questions you can call the company's Vice President, Lenny Mondeau, at 989-686-3210.
