Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Shuler Meats is recalling approximately 25,920 pounds of fully cooked smoked turkey legs sold under the Shuler Meats, Co. and Belmont Meats, Co. brands. These products, produced between November 2014 and May 2015, were reconditioned without the required federal food safety inspection and distributed to fairs and retailers in North Carolina. Consumers should not eat these products and should either throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.

Risk

These products were processed and packaged without the benefit of FSIS inspection, meaning they may have been produced under conditions that do not meet federal food safety standards. While no illnesses have been reported, food produced without inspection poses an unknown health risk to consumers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer for 40 lb. plastic-lined cardboard boxes of frozen turkey legs with 'Shuler Meats, Co.' or 'Belmont Meats, Co.' labels.
  2. Verify the establishment number on the packaging: look for 'P-21309' on Belmont Meats boxes or 'M-40367' on Shuler Meats labels.
  3. Stop using these products immediately; do not consume them.
  4. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
  5. If you are concerned about an injury or illness related to this product, contact a healthcare provider.
  6. For additional questions, contact Wayne Shuler at (336) 476-6477 or call the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
