WASHINGTON — Knoxville, Tenn.-based Magnolia Provision Company Inc. is recalling nearly 500 lbs of beef jerky products that are suspected to be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes, announced the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

Affected products include:

• 2-oz packages of “BEEF JERKY EXPERIENCE CHOP HOUSE STYLE PRIME RIB FLAVORED BEEF JERKY” with “EXP 8/25/23” displayed on the back of the package.
• 8-oz packages of “BEEF JERKY EXPERIENCE CHOP HOUSE STYLE PRIME RIB FLAVORED BEEF JERKY” with “EXP 8/25/23” displayed on the back of the package.

The items, which were produced Aug. 25, bear the establishment number “EST. 8091” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

Magnolia Provision Company discovered the problem when it received confirmation from its third-party lab that a product contact surface sample tested positive for Listeria. The company reported the issue to FSIS. However, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from consumption of the jerky.
