Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

BC Food LA, LLC (doing business as B & C Food Co.) is recalling approximately 1,643 pounds of Chinese-style hot pot base products containing beef tallow. These products were imported from China, a country currently ineligible to export beef products to the United States. The recall affects 10.5-oz (300 g) vacuum-wrapped packages of Lee’s Da Zhuang Hot Pot Base in 36°, 45°, and 52° spiciness levels that were imported around June 24, 2020. Consumers should return the product to the store where it was purchased for a refund or throw it away.

Risk

The beef tallow used in these hot pot bases was imported from a country that does not have a food safety equivalence agreement with the U.S. for beef, meaning the products did not undergo required federal inspection to ensure they meet safety standards.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pantry for 10.5-oz. (300 g) plastic vacuum wrapped packages of 'Lee's 52° Da Zhuang', 'Lee's 45° Da Zhuang', or 'Lee's 36° Da Zhuang' Hot Pot Base.
  2. Verify the product by looking for Chinese-language labeling and the absence of a USDA mark of inspection or establishment number.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
  4. If you have questions about the recall, contact Allen Pung, President of BC Food LA, LLC, at 213-422-7473.
