USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of approximately 5,795 pounds of ready-to-eat beef stick products due to mislabeling.
The beef sticks manufactured by Frickenschmidt Foods LLC contain and declare wheat as an ingredient but have an incorrect statement of “gluten-free” on the label.
The 1.5 ounce ready-to-eat teriyaki beef sticks labeled “High Protein Snack Teriyaki Beef Wicked Cutz Beef Stick” have lot codes 113022, 120122 or 012823 printed in blue ink on the back of the product package and were packaged on Nov. 30, 2021; Dec. 1, 2021; and Jan. 28, 2021.
The beef sticks were shipped to retail locations nationwide and sold online.
