Public health alert issued for meat and poultry pasties over undeclared allergen
No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported yet, the USDA said.
Customers should throw out the product or return it to where they purchased it, according to the USDA.
The alert comes as a Mississippi-based beef tallow company resumes sales following a recall by the USDA this week.
“On February 6th, we were notified of a labeling issue affecting our 24 oz. beef tallow for cooking,” the company, Lady May Tallow, said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.

“While the product itself remains completely safe and unaffected, the labeling required correction,” said the statement. “As a result, our manufacturer, Common Sense Soap, initiated a voluntary recall to ensure compliance.”
The USDA recalled 30,000 pounds of its product.
Beef tallow is the fat that surrounds a cow’s kidney. It can be used as an ingredient in cosmetics as well as in cooking.
