USDA issues nationwide health alert for frozen meat, poultry products over undeclared allergens

A public health alert was issued Friday for meat and poultry products nationwide due to misbranding and undeclared allergens such as sesame and Worcestershire sauce.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the following products are subject to the public health alert:

• Clear vacuum-packed packages of 6-piece “Bami Rolls” with “BEST BY” October 2027 and lot codes BR-2026-01 and BR-2026-02.
• Clear vacuum-packed packages of 10-piece “Saté Kroketten” with “BEST BY” October 2027 and lot code SK-1026-01.
• Clear vacuum-packed packages of 12-piece “Bitterballen” with “BEST BY” October 2027 and lot code BB-1026-01.

The frozen, not ready-to-eat meat and poultry products were produced on Oct. 15, Oct. 16, and Oct. 27, and are not subject to recall because the products are no longer available for purchase.

The products contain sesame, a known allergen that was not declared on the products’ labels, and Worcestershire sauce that contains anchovy, another known allergen that was not declared on the product labels.

The products were sold by Lowlands House for internet sales nationwide. Each product bears the establishment numbers “EST. M3177” or “EST. P3177” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The items may have been sold at a festival and farmers’ market in Greer, South Carolina. USDA discovered the issue during a routine FSIS label review.

USDA noted that there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of the products, though anyone who may be concerned about a reaction should contact a health care provider.

Officials have concerns that some of the products may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers, and consumers who have purchased the items are urged not to consume them. All products included in the public health alert should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
