HOUSTON – Undeclared peanut allergens in seasoning has prompted HEB to issue a voluntary recall for H-E-B bulk cryovac, tray-packed Chorizo and H-E-B cryovac Pork Al Pastor.

H-E-B officials say there have been no reported illnesses related to the recall, but that people who have an allergy or sensitivity to peanuts should avoid consuming these products.
