Why was 15,388 pounds of heat-treated shelf-stable ready-to-eat (RTE) beef… recalled?
According to the USDA, the stated reason for the recall is: “Unreported Allergens. WASHINGTON, June 3, 2025 - Springville Meat & Cold Storage Co., Inc., Springville, Utah establishment, is recalling approximately 15,388 pounds of heat-treated shelf-stable ready-to-eat (RTE) beef jerky/beef snack stick products and voluntarily inspected elk, venison and buffa….” In plain terms, this recall relates to an undeclared ingredient or allergen.
An undeclared ingredient means a food contains something — often a major allergen such as milk, eggs, soy, wheat, peanuts, or tree nuts — that is not listed on the label. For most people this is not dangerous, but for someone with a food allergy or sensitivity it can trigger a serious reaction. Accurate labeling is required so that people can avoid ingredients they need to stay away from.

If you think you may have bought 15,388 pounds of heat-treated shelf-stable ready-to-eat (RTE) beef…, compare it against the product description and identifying codes before using it.
