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.

Oreo and Chips Ahoy's Parent Company Just Filed a Lawsuit Against Aldi—Here's What to Know
Oreo and Chips Ahoy's Parent Company Just Filed a Lawsuit Against Aldi—Here's What to Know originally appeared on Parade. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but only to a point. Sure, we all get inspiration from somewhere, and some might even argue that there's no such thing as an original thought—but there's a clear difference between paying homage and straight up copying off of someone else' s paper. It's the reason agencies like the Trademark and Patent Office exist, to protect the intellectual, physical, and creative properties of trailblazers who appear to have spoken an idea into the ether first. 😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔 That being said, we often assume that the agencies in place are there to protect the everyman, mom and pop businesses that come up with game-changing ideas everyday, but in the hands of big business and mega-corporations, it actually does quite the opposite. We've all heard horror stories of independent designers coming up with a product only to find that a larger, more popular brand has copied their original idea almost get away with it, they might make a few minor tweaks here and there and the rest is history. But what if the tables were turned and a smaller brand, arguably one on a stratospheric rise, decided to take a page out of the mega-corp playbook and dupe their product in near identical fashion? According to Chips Ahoy and Oreo parent company Mondelez, Aldi did exactly that and they've filed a lawsuit to prove it. In this week's latest omg-inducing news, snack brand giant Mondelez announced that it is suing Aldi for allegedly copying their packaging of their iconic cookies and crackers, potentially confusing shoppers. The lawsuit claims that Aldi's peanut butter creme-filled cookies, chocolate chip cookies, and Thin Wheat crackers have packaging similar to that of Nutter Butter, Chips Ahoy, and Wheat Thins. Even further, the lawsuit claims that if not changed, the packaging threatens to irreparably harm Mondelez and its brands by tricking consumers into thinking they're purchasing the real thing. Mondelez is seeking monetary damages as well as a court order to prevent Aldi from selling the products—if we know anything about lawsuits, though, it might not end up being that simple. This also isn't the first time the German supermarket chain has been accused of ripping off a competitor's designs either. Last December an Australian court found Aldi liable for copyright infringement over children's snacks packaging that resembled Hampden Holdings' Baby Bellies puffs packaging. While it may seem like a lofty assertion, the packaging does look pretty similar if not for the color choices alone. Only time will tell how this one pans out, but hopefully it ends in the two working out a distribution deal.
