Boa Vida Imports Recalls Pork And Beef Products Imported From An Ineligible Country Without Benefit Of Import Inspection

Agency Publication Date: March 20, 2015

Summary

Boa Vida Imports is recalling approximately 385 pounds of NOBRE brand canned pork and beef stew products, including Chispalhada, Dobrada, and Feijoada flavors. These products were imported from Portugal, a country currently ineligible to export meat to the United States, and were not presented for required federal import inspection. The recalled 1-lb. cans were sold at retail locations in Southeastern Massachusetts and feature use-by dates ranging from July to October 2016.

Risk

Consumption of these products poses a health risk because they were imported from an ineligible country without the benefit of USDA food safety inspections. While no illnesses have been reported, the lack of inspection means the safety and regulatory equivalence of the production process cannot be verified.

What You Should Do

Check your pantry for 1-lb. cans of NOBRE brand 'Receitas Caseiras' including CHISPALHADA (Use by 10/21/2016), DOBRADA COM FEIJAO BRANCA (Use by 09/23/2016), or FEIJOADA A TRANSMOTANA (Use by 07/10/2016).
Verify the product by looking for establishment number 'PT RTR 79 CE' inside the Portugal mark of inspection on the label.
If you possess these products, do not consume them; contact the manufacturer or your healthcare provider if you are concerned about a reaction.
Contact Antonio Coutinho, Owner of Boa Vida Imports, at (744) 206-1625 for further instructions regarding the recall.
For additional food safety questions, contact the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
