Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bassett & Walker International, Inc. is recalling approximately 1,540 pounds of frozen beef lip products produced by JBS PTY Limited in Australia. These products were imported into the United States but were not presented at the point of entry for required federal inspection by the USDA. The recalled 55-pound boxes were distributed to retail outlets and restaurants in the San Diego, California area between March 2, 2015, and April 7, 2015. Consumers should return these products to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Because these meat products bypassed the mandatory U.S. import inspection process, the safety and quality of the beef cannot be verified, posing a potential risk of adverse health consequences if consumed.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer for 55-pound boxes of frozen beef lips from JBS PTY Limited (Australia) with establishment numbers 4, 170, 235, or 517 located inside the USDA-style import inspection mark.
  2. Verify the box labels for the following identifiers: 92606 or 62605, and production dates between March 2, 2015, and April 7, 2015.
  3. If you have any of the affected product, do not consume it; restaurants and retailers should not serve or sell it.
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund or contact Maria Fortuna at Bassett & Walker International at (416) 363-7070 ext. 265 or mfortuna@bassettwalkerinc.com for further instructions.
  5. If you believe you have experienced an adverse reaction from consuming this product, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
  6. For additional food safety questions, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
