Jerky products recalled; were processed without inspection

Santana’s Black Label Gourmet Beef Jerky, a Glendale, Ariz. establishment, is recalling approximately 295 pounds of beef jerky products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and used the USDA mark of inspection without authorization, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The beef jerky items were produced on May 25, 2016, June 1, 2016 and June 26, 2016. The following products are subject to recall:

2.8-oz. plastic bag packages containing “Santana’s Black Label Beef Jerky Heaven” with a “BEST BY” date of May 25, 2017, June 1, 2017 or June 26, 2017.
2.8-oz. plastic bag packages containing “Santana’s Black Label Beef Jerky Smokey Robinson” with a “BEST BY” date of May 25, 2017, June 1, 2017 or June 26, 2017.
2.8-oz. plastic bag packages containing “Santana’s Black Label Beef Jerky Hatcho .357” with a “BEST BY” date of May 25, 2017, June 1, 2017 or June 26, 2017.
2.8-oz. plastic bag packages containing “Santana’s Black Label Beef Jerky Super Mario” with a “BEST BY” date of May 25, 2017, June 1, 2017 or June 26, 2017.

The products subject to recall bear a false establishment number “EST. 090115” inside the mark of inspection. The firm applied this mark of inspection to the labels of the beef jerky products without authorization. Products produced on June 26, 2016, may not bear the mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributors and retail locations in Arizona.

FSIS was alerted to the problem by a third party source.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions, illnesses, or injuries due to consumption of these products.
