Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Tennessee Brown Bag, LLC is recalling approximately 4,590 pounds of seven different beef jerky varieties because they were produced without federal inspection. The recall includes 1.5 oz. and 3.0 oz. packages of Original, Peppered, Spicy, Teriyaki, Hotiyaki Sweet Heat, Dill Pickle, and Jalapeño Dill flavors produced between January 2020 and April 2022. These products were sold directly to consumers nationwide through the company's website and retail locations in Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia. No adverse reactions have been reported to date.

Risk

The beef jerky was produced in an establishment that was not inspected by the USDA and does not bear the federal mark of inspection, which means the safety and processing standards cannot be verified.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry or refrigerator for brown zippered packages of Tennessee Brown Bag beef jerky in 1.5 oz. or 3.0 oz. sizes.
  2. Identify affected products by looking for 'Best by' dates through April 2023 on the back of the package.
  3. Verify the UPC codes on your package match any of the following: 686557851571, 686557851526, 686557851588, 686557851533, 686557851595, 686557851540, 686557851601, 686557851557, 686557851618, 686557851564, 686557851656, 686557851649, 686557851670, or 686557851663.
