Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Santana's Black Label Gourmet Beef Jerky is recalling approximately 295 pounds of beef jerky products, including the Heaven, Smokey Robinson, Hatcho .357, and Super Mario varieties. These 2.8-oz plastic bag packages were produced without federal inspection and used the USDA mark of inspection without authorization. The products were sold at retail locations and through distributors in Arizona and have "Best By" dates of May 25, 2017, June 1, 2017, or July 1, 2017. No illnesses or injuries have been reported.

Risk

These products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, meaning their safety and the production environment were not verified by food safety authorities. Consumption of uninspected meat products could pose a health risk to consumers.

What You Should Do
