There’s an active recall on approximately 33,899 pounds of beef tallow product, according to the Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. This is due to the product not being properly inspected before it was sold to consumers.
The Lady May Tallow branded products have a label written as “PREMIUM QUALITY GOODS Grass-fed beef TALLOW Lady May ALL NATURAL” or “PREMIUM QUALITY GOODS Grass-fed beef Original TALLOW Lady May ALL NATURAL.” They were sold in the following sizes and container types: 2-pound plastic tubs, 7.8- to 8-pound (or 1-gallon) plastic tubs, 16-pound plastic tubs and 24-fluid ounce glass jars.
The recalled beef tallow was sold nationwide to wholesale and retail locations. The products did not receive the proper inspection because the brand does not bear a federal grant of inspection to produce food. Therefore, the product is not safe for human consumption even though it has a nutrition label on its packaging.
If you have the recalled beef tallow on hand, dispose of it or return it to your place of purchase. While there are no illness reports connected to this recall, contact your health care provider if you’re experiencing any adverse reactions after using this product.
For questions about this recall, consumers can contact the owner of Lady May Tallow, Chris McDonald, by calling 601-270-7410 or emailing may@ladymaytallow.com.
