WASHINGTON, June 9, 2023 – J.T.M. Provisions Company, a Harrison, Ohio establishment, is recalling approximately 200 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) chili topping product due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product labeled as chili topping may actually contain beef taco filling, which contains soy, a known allergen, that is not declared on the product label. 

The frozen, RTE Homestyle Chili Topping packages, which may actually contain beef taco filling, were produced March 14, 2023, and packed inside cases labeled as beef taco filling. The following product is subject to recall [view label]:

• 5-lb. boilable plastic bags of “Gordon Choice® Homestyle Chili Topping” with lot code 230732002.

The product subject to recall bears establishment number “1917A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. This item was shipped to institutional and retail locations nationwide.                           

The problem was discovered when the producing establishment notified FSIS that it had received a consumer complaint that bags labeled as homestyle chili topping contained beef taco filling.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.  

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in institutional or consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and institutions are urged not to serve these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
