Puritan Foods Co. Inc. of Boston is recalling approximately 2,476 pounds of raw boneless turkey breasts because they contain an undeclared allergen, milk. Consumers who have an allergy to milk should not eat these products as they risk severe allergic reaction if they do. At this time there have been no reports of illness.
The recalled product is: Puritan raw boneless turkey breasts in various weights with pack dates of June 11 and July 18, 2014 and the establishment number “P-5933” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The product sold the product to hotels, restaurants and institutions in the New England area.
The problem was discovered by U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service personnel during a label check. The product does not usually contain milk, but on the two dates in question, the source materials used declared they were “butter basted,” which was not carried over to the finished product label.
