The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that Common Sense Soap, based in North Walpole, New Hampshire, is recalling over 30,000 pounds of beef tallow. The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the products were processed, packaged, and labeled without required federal inspection oversight.
Background
FSIS was notified by a local health department who found that Lady May Tallow had contracted Common Sense Soap, a company without a federal grant of inspection, to process, package, and label the recalled product. The presence of nutrition facts labels on the products could mislead consumers into believing they were safe for human consumption.
Distribution
The products were distributed by Lady May Tallow to wholesalers and retailers across the United States.
