Summary

4 Frendz, LLC is recalling approximately 497 pounds of Southfork Sausage brand beef jerky products sold in 3-oz vacuum-packed packages in Idaho and Washington. The affected varieties include Mesquite Pepper, Honey, Mesquite, Teriyaki, and Hot Honey flavors produced between August 2015 and April 2016. These products were recalled because they were under-processed, which means they may contain harmful bacteria.

Risk

The beef jerky may be undercooked, allowing for the potential survival of bacterial pathogens in the product that can cause foodborne illness. While no adverse reactions have been reported, consumers should not eat these products due to the risk of infection.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for 3-oz vacuum-packed packages of Southfork Sausage Beef Jerky in Mesquite Pepper, Honey, Mesquite, Teriyaki, or Hot Honey flavors.
  2. Verify if your product is affected by looking for establishment number 'EST. M22017' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  3. Confirm the 'use by/sell by' dates fall between 5/10/16 and 1/11/17, and the packaging dates fall between 8/10/15 and 4/11/16.
  4. If you have these products, do not consume them; contact Art King, Managing Partner, at (509)-751-9888 for further instructions.
  5. For additional food safety questions, contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
