The recall affects five of the company's beef jerky brands: Arizona Jacks, Desert Star, Southwest Trail, Terrell and Kettle Creek. The products subject to recall were produced prior to Feb. 2, 2014, and were shipped to retails stores nationwide, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Tuesday.
Officials say there have been no reports of adverse reactions to the products.
Prime Snax CEO Kevin Howard says the recall was voluntary and a technical labeling mistake. He says soy lecithin is used as part of a cleaning procedure during production, and regulators informed the company it should be listed on the label.
