Lowlands House sold the products online nationwide. FSIS says the products are no longer available for purchase, which is why the agency issued a public health alert without requesting a recall.

What to do if you have an affected product

Do not eat it. Throw the product away or return it to the store or seller where you bought it.

As of the November 6 alert, FSIS had received no confirmed reports of reactions linked to these products. If you are concerned about a reaction, contact a health care provider.
