Click to enlarge

US/Washington: The US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (“FSIS”), a statutory regulatory and food safety authority, warns against the consumption of certain batch/lots of Hy-Vee Beef Pot Roast Dinners from the American marketplace due to suspected mislabeling and consequential undeclared Wheat, a known allergen, source of dietary intolerance and possible trigger of Anaphylaxis, a serious and potential fatal situation, requiring immediate medical intervention to minimize pain and suffering as well as prevent life-altering injury or death.

Additional information:
The United States Department of Agriculture (“USDA”) reports the following Beef Pot Roast Dinners were produced on various dates between December 26, 2022 and January 17, 2023 and are subject to this recall:

• HyVee Mealtime Beef Pot Roast Dinners, sold in 1.6-ounce plastic containers with a best-if-use-by dates ranging from 01/03/2023 to 01/24/2023 and a batch/lot code between 22361 and 23017

Please consult the photograph above for details of the food’s packaging, design and retail presentation. Additional images of the recalled Beef Pot Roast Dinners Products can be found on the Web site above.

These Beef Pot Roast Dinners bear establishment number “EST. 51558” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were known to be marketed, distributed and sold in the US states of Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota and Wisconsin, although it is always possible these food products had wider distribution within the country. When in doubt, please contact the manufacturer for specific product information.

According to the USDA, it has issued a Public Health Warning against the consumption of certain batch/lots of Hy-Vee Beef Pot Roast Dinners from the American marketplace due to suspected mislabeling and consequential undeclared Wheat. A formal Recall was not requested because the subject Beef Pot Roast Dinners are thought to be no longer available for purchase.

In this case, the Warning was issued when the Hy-Vee identified that it had received a substitute Gravy Mix from its spice supplier that includes Wheat, whereas the usual Gravy Mix used by the company for this product does not. The establishment subsequently notified FSIS that the label on the back of the product does not list Wheat contained in the substitute Gravy Mix.

As a direct result of this suspected defect, you should neither serve nor consume the recalled Beef Roast Meals identified above.

==> For information about Wheat Allergy or Gluten Intolerance, please consult the “Allergens & Intolerances” tab on this site, located at the top of this page.

==> Never depend on your senses of sight, smell, taste or touch to confirm food poisoning, adulteration or contamination. If in doubt about the safety of any food, return it to your retailer for refund or toss it out in your household garbage, making sure small children and pets can’t access the suspect food.

Proposed Remedy:
If you believe you have purchased or have in your possession any of these recalled HyVee Mealtime Beef Pot Roast Dinners and could be allergic to their Wheat ingredients, have a close family member who is allergic or has previously experienced Anaphylaxis or are unsure of your allergy status, please do not consume them. Instead, return the product to the distributor or wholesaler where you purchased it for a full refund.

==> If you have a medical emergency, please contact 9-1-1, your closest hospital or emergency center equipped to properly treat bacterial Anaphylaxis.
