The U.S. Food Safety and Inspection Service announced the recall of about 8,910 pounds of bacon-wrapped beef tenderloin products due to a labeling error.
The FSIS said the recalled products were packaged with the wrong label that did not identify a marinade containing soy and milk, known allergens.
The 20-ounce boxes of Chef's Requested Foods-brand each contains four bacon-wrapped beef steak medallions. Each box bears a pack date of "0198A" or "0208A" printed on the side of the box.
The beef products were distributed to retail establishments in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the company at 405-239-2610, Ext. 112.

Pathogen that causes disease in cattle also associated with Crohn's disease
People with Crohn's disease (CD) are seven-fold more likely to have in their gut tissues the bacterium that causes a digestive-tract disease in cattle called Johne's disease. The role this bacterium may or may not play in causing CD is a top research priority, according to a new report released by the American Academy of Microbiology. The reports points out that the cause of CD is unknown, and the possible role of this bacterium—which could conceivably be passed up the food chain to people—has received too little attention from the research community.
