Beef and pork products recalled due to undeclared allergen
Products contain undeclared milk
RI Wang Food Group, based in Maspeth, N.Y., is recalling more than 63,000 pounds of pork and beef products due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen.
The pork sausage and beef products contain milk, which was not declared on the product label. The products were produced on various dates ranging from Jan. 5, 2016 to June 29, 2017. Products were originally designated for recall on Sept. 15 after inspections of exported products by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency discovered milk proteins. The recall was expanded after further testing found more products with undeclared milk.
The recalled products bear establishment number “EST. 40200” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. The following products are subject to recall:
