Corn Maiden Foods, Inc. Recalls Beef and Pork Products Due To Misbranding and an Undeclared Allergen

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Corn Maiden Foods, Inc. is recalling approximately 15,600 pounds of various beef and pork tamales, Yucatan pork, and beef brisket taquitos because they contain soy that is not listed on the label. These products were produced between April 9, 2014, and April 8, 2015, and were shipped to hotels, restaurants, and institutional locations in California. Because people with soy allergies may have a serious or life-threatening reaction if they consume these products, anyone who has purchased them should return them to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

The products contain hydrolyzed soy protein, a known allergen which was not declared on the product label. This poses a serious health risk to individuals with a soy allergy or sensitivity, although no adverse reactions have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer and storage for any Corn Maiden Foods products with establishment number 'EST. 20949' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  2. Identify affected products by looking for Tamales (Pork Carnitas, Sante Fe Green Chile), Border Grill Pork Yucatan, or Beef Brisket Taquitos produced between April 9, 2014 and April 8, 2015.
  3. Do not serve or consume these products if you or anyone in your household has a soy allergy.
  4. Return any affected products to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Corn Maiden Foods, Inc. directly for instructions.
  5. Contact Pascal Dropsy, President of Corn Maiden Foods, Inc., at (310) 784-0400, ext. 221 with any questions about this recall.
  6. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety questions.
