Various Kent Quality Foods Sausage and Hot Dog Products Recalled for Undeclared Soy

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Kent Quality Foods Inc. is recalling approximately 308,430 pounds of various ready-to-eat beef, pork, and turkey hot dog and sausage products. The recall was initiated because the products contain soy, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels. These items were produced between September 9, 2017, and April 29, 2018, and were shipped to distribution and restaurant locations nationwide.

Risk

Consumption of these products poses a risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions for individuals with a soy allergy or sensitivity. The issue stems from a spice mixture containing hydrolyzed soy protein that was not listed on the final product labels, potentially cross-contaminating multiple product lines through shared equipment.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have any of the affected sausage or hot dog products by checking for establishment numbers 'EST. 5694' or 'P-5694' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  2. Check your product's specific item number, lot code, and packaging date against the extensive list of affected items, which includes brand names like Kent Quality Foods, GFS, Eisenberg, Texas Chili Company, and others. See the Affected Products section below for the full list of affected codes.
  3. If you have an affected product, do not consume it. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
  4. If you have leftovers from a restaurant that serves these brands, confirm the brand with the restaurant or dispose of the leftovers if you have a soy allergy.
  5. For questions about the recall, contact Stephen Soet at Kent Quality Foods Inc. at (616) 459-4595.
  6. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety questions.
