Tony Downs Foods Company, a Madelia, Minn., establishment is recalling approximately 70,500 pounds of premium chunk chicken due to mislabeling and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The products may actually contain ‘Beef with Gravy.’ The canned beef product contains wheat, an allergen not declared on the canned chicken label.

The product subject to recall is 12.5-oz. cans of “Tyson Premium Chunk Chicken.” The incorrectly labeled products subject to recall bear the code date of “8965 248A 12139” and “Best by May 18, 2015” ink-jetted on the bottom of each can. Each label bears the number P-65 inside the USDA mark of inspection. Correctly labeled cans are inkjetted with the code “1392TDM4600” and “P65” beneath a “Use By May 18 2015” date and are not subject to recall.

These products were produced on May 18, 2012, and were distributed to retail establishments nationwide.

The problem was discovered after the firm received customer complaints that the product was incorrectly labeled. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
