Summary

Oscar's Hickory House Inc. is recalling approximately 32 pounds of Adirondack Mountain Smokehouse Beef Jerky sold in 4-oz and 8-oz cryovac packages. The affected products were sold by one retailer in New York and via the internet, and can be identified by the code 420 on the label and establishment number EST. 4257. This recall was initiated because of a processing deviation that makes the jerky susceptible to environmental pathogens.
