WASHINGTON, June 30, 2010 - San Antonio Packing
Company, a San Antonio, Texas, establishment, is recalling
approximately 9,408 lbs. of Cervelat Summer Sausage because it
may contain an undeclared allergen, milk, the U.S. Department of
Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS)
announced today. The recalled products do not have an
ingredients statement. The product contains milk, a known
potential allergen, which is not declared on the label.
The following products are subject to recall:
- 16 oz. packages of "APCO BRAND MEATS CERVELAT SUMMER
SAUSAGE." Each package bears the establishment number
"EST. 602" inside the USDA mark of inspection and a
sell-by date up to Sept. 22, 2010.
These products were produced on various dates from April 14,
2010, through June 22, 2010, and were distributed to retail
establishments in South Texas. When available, the retail
distribution list(s) will be posted on FSIS' Web site at >http://www.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/
Open_Federal_Cases/index.asp.
The problem was discovered during a routine review of operations
by FSIS at the establishment. FSIS has received no reports of
adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone
concerned about an allergic reaction should contact a physician.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify
recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that
steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer
available to consumers.
Consumer and media inquiries regarding the recall should be
directed to Bobby Castaneda at (210) 224-5441.
