Official summary

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6, 2026 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is issuing a public health alert for frozen, not ready-to-eat (NRTE), meat and poultry products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products contain sesame, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels. In addition, the beef product contains Worcestershire sauce that contains anchovy (fish), a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels. A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase.

The frozen NRTE meat and poultry products were produced on Oct. 15, Oct. 16, and Oct. 27, 2026. The following products are subject to the public health alert [view labels]:
