US-based establishment Daniel Weaver is recalling around 7,092 pounds of halal beef products as they may contain peanuts, which is not mentioned on the label, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The recalled products include 16oz hoops of YRüK BRAND HALAL BEEF SOUJOUK DRIED BEEF SAUSAGE and YRüK BRAND HALAL BEEF PARMAK SOUJOUK DRIED BEEF SAUSAGE bearing establishment number EST. 669.
These products were produced between 13 November and 3 December 2014 and were shipped to a distribution location in New Jersey.
The recall has been initiated after the company was notified by its spice supplier that the cumin in a spice mix used to formulate the sausage may have been contaminated with peanut allergens.
It has been classified as Class I health hazard which means there is a reasonable probability that the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death on consumption.
No illnesses have been reported associated with the recall.
