A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know
A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. Beef tallow becoming the hottest food trend was not on my 2025 bingo card, but here we are. Everywhere you look these days, the byproduct of cooked cow's kidney and loin meat is being touted as a miracle fat worthy of both frying the best French fries you've ever had and slathering on your face as part of a game-changing skincare routine. Restaurants are switching to using it in favor of seed oils, and there are even protein bars chock-full of the stuff, but how did we get here? Can it really hydrate your skin better than Tatcha's The Dewy Skin Cream, and is it really better than using seed oils? 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 The jury's still out on both of those claims, but that hasn't stopped influencers and government officials alike from singing its praises as the equivalent of this century's gold rush. Never mind the fact that beef tallow was heavily abandoned during the early 90s due to its high concentration of saturated fat, or the fact that there is no real scientific evidence that suggests that beef tallow has any actual benefits for your skin. Sure, everything is fine in moderation, and you can bet it'll make for some finger-licking good fries, but it probably won't cure your hyperpigmentation, will, however, make you smell like a burger, and if that sounds like a plus, by all means, you do you. Of course, you might second-guess reaching for that giant tub of beef fat when you see that the FDA has issued a nationwide recall on beef tallow and pork lard products due to claims that products distributed across the country were not inspected by the USDA. Sulu Organics, LLC., a distributor in Illinois, issued a recall on 6,166 pounds of its products after several consumer complaints were made to FSIS claiming that the products did not bear the USDA inspection mark. Upon further investigation, FSIS determined that the distributor purchased the products from a regulated facility and repackaged the products into smaller containers that were relabeled without FSIS inspections. Although there have been no reports of illness or adverse reactions, consumers are urged to discard any affected products or return them to the point of purchase for a full refund. You can find the complete list of items affected by the recall here. We think we'll just stick to olive oil.A Nationwide Recall Affecting Thousands of Pounds of Beef Tallow Was Just Issued—Here's What to Know first appeared on Parade on Jun 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

15,000 Pounds of Beef Jerky and Snack Sticks Recalled due to Labeling Issue—Here's What to Know
15,000 Pounds of Beef Jerky and Snack Sticks Recalled due to Labeling Issue—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. This might not be a unique take, but I love a dried snack stick the same way Cookie Monster loves cookies. My favorite happens to be Duke's Hot and Spicy Smoked Shorty Sausages, you know, in case anyone ever wants to get me a gift, but that's not what we're here to talk about today. Jerky, biltong, pastirma, or simply a Slim Jim is the ultimate grab-and-go snack full of protein and punchy flavor when you can't be bothered to put together an entire snack plate. Sure, they may not be for everyone, but that just means there's more for those of us whose palate is refined and sophisticated enough to appreciate the artistry behind such a premium meat product. 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 As someone who considers themselves well-versed in the world of beef jerky, I can say with confidence that there aren't too many I haven't tried. Some are spicy enough to make your insides burn, and others are milder with a subtle smokiness almost akin to that of good barbecue. Whatever your preference for jerky is, there are a few ingredients that happen to make their way into a majority of the smoked meat products we purchased, and Worcestershire sauce is one of famously difficult-to-pronounce sauce is known to typically consist of anchovies as a main ingredient, but in more commercial settings, anchovies are usually left out due to being a potential allergen. Unfortunately, for over 15,000 pounds of beef jerky and snack sticks from Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc., they were just recalled due to omitting anchovies as a trace ingredient on the label. The recall was initiated after FSIS discovered that the Worcestershire sauce used by the Utah-based company does, in fact, contain anchovies. Delicious? Yes, but not worth risking a potential allergic reaction. The full list of products affected can be found on the FSIS recall announcement, although some notable brands include Dry Lakes Ranch Beef, Idaho City Grocery, Jeff's Famous Beef Jerky, Last Stop Gourmet, Spear F. Cattle Co., Smokehouse Jerky Co., Twisselman Outfitters, Uncommon Ground, and Wild Green Water Ranch. The impacted products were produced from May 30, 2023, to May 30, 2025, and there are currently 'no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption' of the company's products, per FSIS. Additionally, the FSIS added that any product with establishment number 'EST. 20528' in the USDA mark of inspection is subject to the recall. It goes without saying that if you've purchased the affected product, it's best not to consume it (however tempting it may be) and discard or return the product to the point of purchase for a full refund.15,000 Pounds of Beef Jerky and Snack Sticks Recalled due to Labeling Issue—Here's What to Know first appeared on Parade on Jun 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jun 6, 2025, where it first appeared.
