California Firm Recalls Boneless Beef Products Imported Without Benefit of Inspection

Agency Publication Date: January 7, 2015

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Jinon Corporation, doing business as Nijiya Market, is recalling approximately 359 pounds of various frozen boneless beef products imported from Japan. These products were sold in various sizes and cuts, including Tenderloin, Ribeye, and Short Ribs, under the Nijiya Market label. The recall was issued because the beef was not presented for mandatory USDA inspection at the U.S. point of entry, which means the safety and quality of the meat cannot be guaranteed. Consumers who purchased these products at the Nijiya Market retail store in Torrance, California, should return them for a full refund.

Risk

Because these beef products skipped the required U.S. food safety inspection process, there is a possibility of adverse health consequences from unidentified contaminants or improper processing. While no illnesses have been reported, the lack of inspection means the meat has not been verified as safe for human consumption.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer for frozen boneless beef products labeled with the 'Nijiya Market' brand name, specifically cuts of Tender Loin, Chuck Roll, Ribeye, Strip Loin, Brisket, Chuck Short Ribs, Inside, Outside, Short Ribs, Top Sirloin Butt, Clod, Knuckle, Short Plate, or Shank.
  2. Verify if the product was produced in Japan on August 6, 2014, and purchased from the Nijiya Market retail store in Torrance, California.
  3. Do not consume the recalled beef; instead, return the product to the Nijiya Market in Torrance for a full refund.
  4. If you have questions about the recall, contact Mitsuhiro Ueda, Merchandising Purchasing Manager, at (310) 787-3305.
  5. If you have concerns about a potential reaction or illness after 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.
