Summary
, a Springdale, Ark. S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The products are formulated with soy protein, a known allergen, and monosodium glutamate (MSG). However, the product was released with a label for George's boneless skinless breast pieces with rib meat, which does not declare soy or MSG on the label. The products subject to recall bear the label: 40 lb.
bulk cartons of iGEORGE'S BONELESS SKINLESS BREAST PIECES W/RIB MEAT” with case code 4790. The products were produced and packaged from Dec. 21 through Dec. 23, 2013, and were sold to distributors in Tennessee and Iowa for further distribution. The recalled products bear the establishment number iP-13584” below the USDA Mark of Inspection and iPacked on” date in the format of imm/dd/yy” on the carton label.
The problem was discovered after the company received a customer complaint of incorrectly labeled product. The customer noticed that the product they received appeared to be seasoned, when it was labeled as being simply boneless, skinless breast pieces. The company's investigation found that the mislabeling occurred when the George's label was mistakenly applied to allergen containing products packaged nearby.
