WASHINGTON, Dec. 30, 2011 -Shamrock Foods, a
Phoenix, Ariz., establishment, is recalling approximately 7,500
pounds of marinated beef and marinated chicken products because
the marinated beef product contains soybeans, wheat, and
sulfites, and the marinated chicken product contains wheat, milk
and sulfites, known allergens that are not declared on the label
for either product.
The products subject to recall include:
- Cases containing 2 10-lb. packages per case of “CHICKEN,
BREAST DOUBLE LOBE MARINATED RANDOMS.” These products have
an identifying item number of “2844671.”
- Cases containing 2 10-lb packages per case of “BEEF
CHUCK, SHOULDER CLOD 1/2” SLICED MARINATED USDA PRIME.”
These products have an identifying item number of “3096311.”
The recalled products were produced from Dec. 1, 2011 through
Dec. 29, 2011, and shipped to food service institutions in
Arizona.
The problem was discovered by FSIS during a routine inspection.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse
reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned
about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify
recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that
steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer
available to consumers.

recall should contact Sandy Kelly, Senior Director of Marketing
and Communications, Shamrock Foods, at (602) 477-2401 or via
