联邦食品安全警报：Betterballen品牌冷冻肉品含未标注芝麻与鱼类过敏原
美国农业部食品安全检验局（FSIS）11月6日发布公共卫生警报，涉及Betterballen品牌的冷冻、非即食（需烹煮后食用）牛肉与禽肉产品。警报原因是产品存在标签错误与未标注过敏原问题：这批产品含有芝麻这一已知过敏原，却未在产品标签上声明；其中的牛肉产品还含有以鳀鱼（鱼类）制成的伍斯特酱，鱼类同为已知过敏原，同样未在标签上标注。对芝麻或鱼类过敏的消费者食用后可能出现过敏反应。
涉事产品分别于今年10月15日、10月16日和10月27日生产，具体包括：透明真空包装的6只装「Bami Rolls」，保质期至2027年10月，批次代码为BR-2026-01和BR-2026-02；透明真空包装的12只装「Bitterballen」，保质期至2027年10月，批次代码为BB-1026-01。Bitterballen是荷兰的传统小吃，为油炸肉丸类食品。
这批产品的美国农业部检验标志内印有企业编号「EST. M3177」或「EST. P3177」，消费者可据此辨认。FSIS表示，由于涉事产品目前已不在市面销售，因此没有要求企业发起召回；但冷冻产品的保质期长达一年，机构提醒家中冰箱里仍存有上述产品的消费者仔细核对包装上的批次代码与企业编号。
FSIS同时提醒，对芝麻或鱼类过敏的人士不要食用涉事产品。食品安全检验局发布此类公共卫生警报，意在让可能仍持有产品的消费者及时知情、避免误食。消费者如有食品安全方面的疑问，可致电美国农业部肉类与禽类热线888-674-6854咨询。

FSIS Issues Public Health Alert: Betterballen Frozen Meat and Poultry Products Contain Undeclared Sesame and Fish Allergens
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert on November 6 for frozen, not-ready-to-eat (NRTE) meat and poultry products sold under the Betterballen brand, citing misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products contain sesame, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels. In addition, the beef product contains Worcestershire sauce that contains anchovy (fish), a known allergen, which is also not declared on the labels. People with allergies to sesame or fish could have reactions if they consume the products.
The products subject to the alert were produced on October 15, October 16 and October 27. They are: clear vacuum-packed packages of 6-piece 'Bami Rolls,' with 'BEST BY' dates of October 2027 and lot codes BR-2026-01 and BR-2026-02; and clear vacuum-packed packages of 12-piece 'Bitterballen,' with a 'BEST BY' date of October 2027 and lot code BB-1026-01. Bitterballen are a traditional Dutch fried meatball snack.
The products bear establishment number 'EST. M3177' or 'EST. P3177' inside the USDA mark of inspection, which consumers can use to identify them. FSIS said a recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase. Because the frozen products carry best-by dates a year out, however, the agency is alerting consumers who may still have the items in their freezers to check the lot codes and establishment numbers on the packaging.
FSIS advises people with sesame or fish allergies not to eat the products. Consumers with food safety questions can call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 888-674-6854.
