Mr. Wok Foods recalls meat, poultry products due to misbranding, undeclared allergens

Mr. Wok Foods, Inc., an establishment based in Las Vegas, Nevada, the United States, is recalling approximately 200,000 pounds of meat and poultry products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on August 10.

The products may contain milk, wheat, soy, peanuts or oysters, which are known allergens. They may also contain MSG, sesame products or sulfites, which are not declared on the product labels.

The affected frozen meat and poultry items were produced from August 6, 2019 through August 6, 2020. The products subject to recall bear establishment number "EST. 20783" or "P-20783" inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were distributed for institutional use in vending machines and restaurants nationwide.                     

The problem was discovered by FSIS in-plant personnel during routine label reviews, when they found that one or more allergens were not listed on labels for various products.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms are notifying their customers of the recall and that actions are being taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
