Greenland Trading Corp. Recalls Squab Products Produced Without Benefit of Import Inspection

Agency Publication Date: July 30, 2015

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Greenland Trading Corp. is recalling approximately 12,672 pounds of AL MARAAI SQUAB HALAL (domesticated pigeon) imported from France. These squab products were imported from a facility not authorized to export to the United States and skipped the required U.S. Department of Agriculture import inspection, meaning their safety cannot be guaranteed. The affected products were sold in 8.8-pound cardboard boxes containing 12 individually plastic-wrapped birds weighing less than one pound each. Consumers should return any remaining product to the place of purchase for a full refund.

Risk

Because these products bypassed the mandatory U.S. import inspection and originated from an ineligible facility, there is a risk of adverse health consequences from unverified processing conditions. While no illnesses have been reported to date, the lack of safety oversight poses a potential health threat to consumers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your freezer or storage for 8.8 lb. cardboard boxes of 'AL MARAAI SQUAB HALAL' containing 12 individually wrapped birds.
  2. Verify the box for establishment number '79.213.004 CE' to confirm if your product is part of the recall.
  3. Immediately stop using the product and return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
  4. If you have questions, contact Mohamed Mebaraz, Vice President of Greenland Trading Corp., at (973) 225-0322.
  5. For additional food safety concerns, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
