AFFCO USA is recalling approximately 24,461 pounds of frozen raw lamb shoulder bone-in products because they were not presented for the required safety re-inspection when imported into the United States. The recall involves cardboard boxes weighing between 33 and 39 pounds that were imported on July 12, 2021. Consumers should check for boxes marked with shipping mark M1353023 and New Zealand establishment seal SPM135. You should not eat this meat; instead, return it to the store where it was purchased for a refund or throw it away.
These products skipped the standard import re-inspection process by the USDA, meaning the safety and quality of the meat could not be verified according to U.S. standards. While no illnesses have been reported, uninspected meat poses a potential risk of foodborne illness or contamination.
You have 2 options:
Shipping mark M1353023 is located on the box label. Box includes New Zealand establishment seal SPM135.
