Givaudan Flavors Corporation Recalls Beef Tallow Products Produced Without Benefit of Import Inspection

Agency Publication Date: August 17, 2015

Summary

Givaudan Flavors Corporation is recalling approximately 3,950 pounds of Natural Beef Flavor WONF (50-lb. bags) produced between May and July 2015. The beef tallow used in this powdered flavoring was imported from Australia and was not presented for mandatory U.S. inspection at the point of entry. These products were distributed to facilities in Ohio and Texas for further industrial processing.

Risk

The beef tallow was imported without the benefit of full USDA inspection, which means it was not verified for safety standards or proper handling. Without this inspection, there is a possibility of adverse health consequences for anyone who consumes products containing these unverified animal-derived ingredients.
