Summary

Bavarian Meat Products is recalling approximately 1,400 pounds of Bavarian Brand Loaf, a lunch meat containing pork and veal, sold in 5 lb., 1 lb., and 1/2 lb. packages. These products were shipped to wholesale and retail locations in Hawaii, Idaho, Oregon, and Washington before March 2, 2015. The recall was initiated because the product contains soy lecithin, used as a pan-releasing agent, which is not declared on the final label.
