Dearborn Sausage Company,SafeX Pro Inc., a producer of meat products including sausages, franks, ham and turkey, jerky and deli meats, has issued a recall of nearly 2,000 pounds of product due to undeclared allergens, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) said Thursday.

According to the recall notice, the labels for two ready-to-eat (RTE) wiener products were swapped, resulting in soy, a common allergen, and pork going undeclared on the packaging.

Dearborn was notified of the switch after a retailer complained that beef wiener products had been mislabeled as beef and pork, and vice versa. The packages labeled incorrectly as "beef and pork" contain soy, which does not appear on the nutrition information, and the packages mislabeled as just "beef" actually contain pork as well.

The Michigan-based company said the products were shipped specifically to retail locations in Ohio.
