Federal food safety officials have issued a nationwide public health alert involving several frozen meat and poultry products that may pose a health risk to consumers with certain food allergies.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), the products contain sesame, an allergen that was not disclosed on the packaging.
One beef product also contains Worcestershire sauce made with anchovies, potentially exposing individuals with fish allergies.
The affected products were distributed nationwide through online sales by Lowlands House and may also have been sold at a festival and farmers market in Greer, South Carolina.
The alert covers three frozen products:
- Bami Rolls: Six-piece vacuum-sealed packages with lot codes BR-2026-01 and BR-2026-02.
- Saté Kroketten: Ten-piece packages with lot code SK-1026-01.
- Bitterballen: Twelve-piece packages with lot code BB-1026-01.
All three products carry a best-by date of October 2027 and USDA establishment numbers EST. M3177 or EST. P3177.
Federal officials said the products were manufactured on October 15, 16 and 27, 2026. The labeling problem was discovered during a routine FSIS review.
Although the products are no longer available for purchase, officials are concerned that consumers may still have them stored in their freezers.
A formal recall was not requested because the affected items are no longer being sold.
As of the announcement, no confirmed allergic reactions or illnesses associated with the products had been reported.
Consumers with sesame or fish allergies are urged to check their freezers and avoid consuming affected products. Anyone experiencing a possible allergic reaction should seek medical
