Common Sense Soap does not have the required federal grant of inspection necessary to produce food products, according to an announcement from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
“The beef tallow products contain a nutrition facts label, leading people to believe that the product is safe for human consumption,” the agency said.
The recalled beef tallow, shipped to wholesalers and retailers nationwide, was labeled “PREMIUM QUALITY GOODS Grass-fed beef TALLOW Lady May ALL NATURAL.”
The affected products come in the following sizes:
- 24-fluid-ounce glass jar
- 2-pound plastic tub
- 7.8-8-pound (1 gallon) plastic tub
- 16-pound plastic tub
There haven’t been any reports of illnesses or other problems related to consumption of the recalled beef tallow.
Recalled products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase, the USDA said.
Beef tallow has become popular on social media as a skin-care cure-all for complaints like acne, dry skin, and scarring — although dermatologists remain skeptical.
