Texas Firm Recalls Chicken and Beef Products Due to Misbranding and Undeclared Allergens

Agency Publication Date: December 30, 2014

Summary

J & B Sausage Co. is recalling approximately 55,813 pounds of various ready-to-eat chicken and beef products, including boudin, taco filling, chili, and carne guisada. The recall was initiated because the products may contain undeclared peanuts, a known allergen, which poses a serious health risk to sensitive individuals. These items were sold at retail locations in Texas under brands such as H-E-B, Cajun Hollar, and Chefs-In-A-Bag between August and December 2014.

Risk

The products contain peanut protein from contaminated cumin that is not listed on the label. This poses a risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions for people with a peanut allergy.

What You Should Do

Check your refrigerator or freezer for affected products including Cajun Hollar Creole Style Boudin, H-E-B Beef Chili, H-E-B Picadillo, H-E-B Carne Guisada, and Chefs-In-A-Bag Chicken Taco Filling.
Verify the establishment number 'EST. 7066' or 'P-7066' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the product packaging.
Immediately stop using and do not consume any affected products if you have a peanut allergy.
Return the recalled products to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Bonnie Hyman at J & B Sausage Co. at (830) 203-9002.
If you believe you have had an adverse reaction to these products, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
For additional questions, contact the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
