Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Prime Snax Incorporated is recalling approximately 90,000 pounds of beef jerky sold nationwide under brands including Arizona Jacks, Desert Star, Southwest Trail, Terrell, and Kettle Creek. These products were processed with a releasing agent containing soy lecithin, which is not declared on the product labels. The jerky was produced prior to February 2, 2014, and includes various flavors like Original, Peppered, Red Chile, and Teriyaki in multiple package sizes.

Risk

The products contain undeclared soy lecithin, a known allergen. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to soy run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your beef jerky packaging for the establishment number 'EST. 18951' inside the USDA Mark of Inspection.
  2. Verify if the date on the package is prior to August 11, 2015, formatted as 'mm dd yy' (e.g., 08 10 15).
  3. Identify if your product matches any of the affected brands: Arizona Jacks, Desert Star, Southwest Trail, Terrell, or Kettle Creek.
  4. If you have an allergy or sensitivity to soy, do not consume the product; contact a healthcare provider if you believe you have had a reaction.
  5. Contact Jackie Pappas at (801) 977-0742 for specific questions regarding the recall or instructions on product disposal or return.
  6. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety information.
