Why it’s dangerous

The products were made with Worcestershire sauce containing anchovies (a fish allergen) that was not listed on the label. This misbranding means people with fish allergies could be exposed to the allergen without knowing it.

Who’s affected

People who purchased the recalled beef shepherd's pie products in California between September 29, 2016 and October 20, 2016 are affected. Those with fish allergies are at higher risk of allergic reactions.
