Simunovic S.A. Frozen Lamb Products Recalled for Lack of Inspection

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

E.N.A. Meat Packing Inc. is recalling approximately 39,947 pounds of frozen, raw lamb products, including bone-in lamb legs and carcasses, that were imported from Chile without the benefit of import reinspection by the USDA. These products were produced between February 22 and March 13, 2023, and do not bear the USDA mark of inspection. While no illnesses have been reported, these items skipped critical safety checks and were distributed to a facility in Texas for further processing.

Risk

The products were not presented for mandatory USDA import reinspection, meaning their safety and quality could not be verified according to U.S. standards. This poses a potential health risk as the items bypassed the final layer of consumer protection for imported meats.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected products by checking for 'Simunovic S.A. Frozen Bone in Lamb Leg ABO' or 'Frozen Lamb Carcasses' labels with Chile establishment number 12-01.
  2. Check for shipping marks ENA036-2023-A or ENA036-2023 and 'Best Before Use By' dates ranging from February 15, 2026, to March 12, 2025.
  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 Edibey Kucukkarca, CEO of ENA Meatpacking Corp., at 973-742-4790 or ed@enameatpacking.com.
  5. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety questions.
