Pennsylvania Firm Recalls Beef Frankfurters Because Of Undeclared Allergen

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23, 2003—Hatfield Quality Meats, a Hatfield, Pa., firm, is voluntarily recalling approximately 4,800 pounds of beef frankfurters because of an undeclared allergen (soy protein), the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced today.

The products being recalled are 1 lb. vacuum sealed packages of “Lancaster BRAND, Franks.” Each package bears the use-by date code, “BEST BY JAN 07 04.” In addition, each package bears the establishment number “EST. 791” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The products were produced on Oct. 14, 2003, and distributed to retails stores in Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

Consumers who are sensitive to soy protein should not eat this product, but return it to the point of purchase.

FOOD ALLERGIES

USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline
1-888-MPHotline or visit www.fsis.usda.gov

Consumers who have a food allergy or severe food sensitivity should always read ingredient labels. In restaurants they should ask whether an allergy-causing ingredient is in the food.

A food allergy occurs when the immune system reacts to a certain food, usually within minutes after the food has been consumed.

Symptoms may include throat swelling, breathing trouble or a rash.

Strictly avoiding the allergy-causing food is the only absolute way to avoid a reaction.

Several foods account for 90% of allergic reactions. They include peanuts, tree nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.), fish, shellfish, eggs, milk, soy, and wheat.

Persons who have a severe, life-threatening food allergy should always carry, and know how to administer, prescription epinephrine.
