CA Firm Recalls Frozen Turkey Patty, Mislabeling And Undeclared Allergen

WASHINGTON – Daniel’s Western Meat Packers, a Pico Rivera, Calif.,
establishment, is recalling approximately 16,290 pounds of frozen turkey patty
products because they were inadvertently mislabeled and may contain an
undeclared allergen, wheat, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. Wheat is a known potential allergen,
which is not declared on the label.

The product subject to recall includes: [View Label]

  • 10-pound cases of frozen “DANIEL’S WESTERN MEAT PACKERS, TURKEY PATTIES,
    2-1 ROUND, KEEP REFRIGERATED.”
  • 10.93-pound cases of 7-ounce frozen “DANIEL’S WESTERN MEAT PACKERS, TURKEY
    PATTIES, KEEP REFRIGERATED.”

Each case bears the establishment number “EST. P-2896” inside the USDA mark of
inspection. The frozen turkey patty products were produced on February 18, 2009,
March 27, 2009, April 1, 2009, April 10, 2009, April 17, 2009, May 23, 2009,
December 28, 2009, and January 22, 2010, and were distributed to distributors
and restaurants in California and Illinois.

The problem was discovered by FSIS. FSIS and the company have 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 (including restaurants) of the recall and that steps are
taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.

Coordinator Erasmo Pizana or Quality Control of Operational Sanitation Pablo
