Massive Beef Jerky Recall Issued After Undeclared Allergen Discovery
Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc. issued a recall of over 15,000 pounds of beef jerky because the products contain fish but do not declare it on the label. The recalled jerky was shipped to retail locations across the U.S. and includes multiple flavors and package sizes under various brand names. While no allergic reactions have been reported, the USDA urges consumers to discard the recalled jerky or return the product to its place of your pantry or snack drawer if you're a beef jerky fan. Roughly 15,388 pounds of ready-to-eat beef jerky and beef snack stick products have been recalled due to an undeclared fish allergen, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The recall involves various brands of beef snack products manufactured by Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc. such as Uncommon Ground, Papa Ray's, Spear Cattle Co., Smokehouse Jerky Co., Dry Lakes Ranch, Twisselman Outfitters, and Wild Green Water Ranch. The items were sold at retail locations across the U.S. and were produced from May 30, 2023 to May 30, 2025. The packaging of the affected products bears an establishment number of "EST. 20528" inside the USDA mark of inspection. Images of the product labels, including the flavors and the type of jerky (elk, venison, and buffalo), can be found in the FSIS recall announcement. The recall was issued because the Worcestershire sauce used in the jerky and snack stick products contains anchovies, a known allergen not declared on the product label. Those with a fish allergy may experience an allergic reaction if they consume the recalled products. According to the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology, symptoms can include hives or a skin rash, nausea, stomach cramps, indigestion, vomiting, diarrhea, a stuffy or runny nose and/or sneezing, headaches, and asthma. Anaphylaxis, a potentially life-threatening reaction that impairs breathing and can cause the body to go into shock, is also possible but is less common. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of the recalled products. If you have these items in your pantry, throw them away or return them to the place of purchase immediately. Consumers can contact Ryan Cope, owner of Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc., at ryan@ with any questions. Read the original article on Martha Stewart

USDA Announces Recall of Over 15,000 Pounds of Beef Jerky Due To Undeclared Allergen
On June 3, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that Utah-based Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc., is voluntarily recalling 15,388 pounds of beef jerky and beef snack sticks, as well as elk, venison, and buffalo jerky products because of misbranding and undeclared allergens. The heat-treated, shelf-stable, ready-to-eat products contain fish, a known allergen that was not declared on the product labels. The issue was discovered during production monitoring by FSIS inspectors, revealing that the new Worcestershire sauce used in certain jerky and snack stick products contained anchovies. The company previously used Worcestershire sauce without this addition. The affected products were produced between May 30, 2023, and May 30, 2025, and were sold nationwide to retail locations under various brand names, including but not limited to: Uncommon Ground, Papa Rays, Spear, Dry Lakes Ranch, Smokehouse Jerky Company, Twisselman, Wild Green Water Ranch, Mr. Bills, Nut Garden, Prospector John's, John & Doug's, Knotts & Co., Killer, Miguel's, Big D's, Bear's, Bubba's, Soldier Summit, Theurer's Quality Meats, and TX Jerky Man. The recalled products bear the establishment number "EST. 20528" inside the USDA mark of inspection. A full list of labels, varieties, and lot codes can be found through the FSIS links: Label Part 1 Label Part 2 Label Part 3 Label Part 4 Label Part 5 Lot Numbers According to FSIS, there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from these products. However, FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers' pantries. Anyone who has these products is urged not to consume them and to return them to the original place of purchase. Anyone concerned about adverse reactions or illness related to this recall should contact a healthcare provider.
