WASHINGTON – The US Dept. of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Al Shabrawy Meat Inc., South River, New Jersey, recalled an undetermined amount of meat and poultry products due to undeclared allergens and misbranding. Some of the products contained known allergens pistachio nut and soy that were not on product labels.

An ongoing FSIS investigation revealed the problem after a complaint to the agency about the establishment. The main health concerns include listing hydrolyzed plant protein in the ingredient statement of the beef mortadella and beef bologna. The allergen soy was not specified as the source of that protein. The beef mortadella products did not declare pistachio nut on individual package ingredient lists, as well, although some cases of the product stickered “pistachio.”

Also, FSIS found undeclared Red Dye #40 in sausage product and poultry ingredients in beef salami and beef bologna products. Beef trimmings designated for cooking only was used in raw non-intact finished products, as well.
