California Firm Recalls Chicken Stew Products Produced Without Benefit of Import Inspection

Agency Publication Date: January 29, 2015

Summary

Korean Farm Inc. is recalling approximately 14,610 pounds of Ginseng Chicken Stew pouches imported from the Republic of Korea. The affected products include 1.87-lb. and 1.32-lb. pouches produced on February 24, 2014, and August 24, 2014, which were sold at retail locations and restaurants in nine states. These items were recalled because they were not presented for required U.S. point-of-entry inspection by the USDA.

Risk

Consumption of food produced without the benefit of full import inspection poses a possibility of adverse health consequences because the safety and processing standards cannot be verified by U.S. authorities.

What You Should Do

Check your pantry or freezer for Ginseng Chicken Stew pouches in 1.87-lb. or 1.32-lb. sizes.
Verify the product by looking for the establishment number 'DGA 14001' inside the Republic of Korea mark of inspection on the packaging.
Confirm if your product was produced on either 'February 24, 2014' or 'August 24, 2014'.
If you possess the recalled product, do not consume it; contact Stephanie Rhee, Corporate Secretary, at (562) 789-9988 for further instructions on disposal or return.
If you believe you have had an adverse reaction from consuming this product, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
For additional food safety questions, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
