The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service issued a public health alert on November 6, 2026, for frozen meat and poultry products that contain sesame and anchovy not declared on the labels. The products were sold by internet nationwide and possibly at a festival and farmers market in Greer, South Carolina.
Why it matters
Undeclared allergens can cause serious reactions in consumers with sesame or anchovy allergies who rely on package labels to avoid them. The alert asks anyone who bought the affected products not to eat them.
The affected packages bear establishment number EST. M3177 or EST. P3177 inside the USDA mark of inspection and come in 6-piece, 10-piece, and 12-piece counts. Production dates were October 15, 16, and 27, 2026, and the products are no longer available for purchase.
The players
USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service
The federal agency within the U.S. Department of Agriculture responsible for ensuring the safety of the nation's meat, poultry, and egg products.
Lowlands House
The company that produced and sold the frozen Bami Rolls, Saté Kroketten, and Bitterballen through internet sales and local markets.
The details
The FSIS discovered during a routine label review that the frozen NRTE products contain sesame, and the beef product's Worcestershire sauce contains anchovy, neither declared on the labels. Lowlands House sold the items online nationwide and possibly at a festival and farmers market in Greer, South Carolina.

Season Trajectory
FSIS allergen labeling rules require meat and poultry labels to declare major allergens, and this alert shows how a routine label review can surface undeclared sesame and anchovy in products sold directly to consumers. The case extends a pattern of federal recalls and alerts tied to labeling failures rather than contamination.
Shoppers who bought 6-piece Bami Rolls, 10-piece Saté Kroketten, or 12-piece Bitterballen should not eat them, especially anyone with sesame or anchovy allergies. Residents of Greer, South Carolina, who attended the festival or farmers market should check their freezers for these packages.
The takeaway
Check package labels and the establishment number before eating frozen meat products, particularly if you have sesame or anchovy allergies. Keep purchase records so you can identify affected products if an alert is issued.
