Cooked Duck Blood Curds Recalled as Unfit for Human Consumption

Agency Publication Date: September 4, 2020

Summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is issuing a public health alert for an undetermined amount of imported Cooked Duck Blood Curds from China. These products are ineligible for import into the United States because they were not presented for re-inspection and lack official inspection certificates from the People's Republic of China. Consumers should not eat this product as it is considered unfit for human consumption and may contain pathogens hazardous to domestic livestock.

Risk

The product lacks proper inspection and certification, meaning the USDA cannot confirm if the duck blood was heated to temperatures sufficient to control pathogens that could harm people or local livestock.
