Minnesota company recalls beef sirloin products sold in North Dakota, Montana, Texas

Talk about it

A Minnesota company has recalled more than one ton of beef sirloin products, some of which were distributed in North Dakota, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Friday.

J&B Group Inc., based in St. Michael, Minn., recalled about 2,645 pounds of the products because they are misbranded and contain milk, a known allergen, which is not noted on the label.

The recall applies to the company’s 10.5 pound cases of 28-count, six-ounce “Ellison Meat Company beef sirloin top butt steak, cap off, no roll, marinated,” which has a case code of 62149. The other recalled product is the 10 pound cases of 16-count, 10-ounce “Ellison Meat Company beef sirloin top butt steak cap off / tenderized with ficin & bromelain,” which has a case code of 62151.

Products subject to the recall bear the establishment number “Est. 15805” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The beef sirloin products were produced between Jan. 1 and Sept. 7, 2011, and were distributed for institutional use in Montana, North Dakota and Texas.

The labeling problem was discovered by the company during a routine review. No incidents of adverse reactions have been reported.
