Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Hong Ha is recalling approximately 10,164 pounds of various Vietnamese-style beef and pork products including meatball mixes and patties sold in weights ranging from 6-oz to 32-oz. These products were shipped to restaurants and retail locations in Maryland and Virginia between December 1, 2014, and April 23, 2015. The recall was initiated because the products contain wheat flour, eggs, and milk, which are not declared on the labels.

Risk

Consumers with an allergy or severe sensitivity to wheat, eggs, or milk run the risk of a serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products. No adverse reactions have been reported to date.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for any Hong Ha brand beef or pork products with establishment number 'EST. 4261' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  2. Verify the specific product names and sizes, such as GIO HUE (6-oz), NEM (7-oz), CHA CHIEN (8-oz), BO VIEN (12-oz), NEM NUONG (14-oz), GIO SONG (14-oz), or GIO DAC BIET (32-oz).
  3. If you have an allergy to wheat, eggs, or milk, do not consume these products; contact the manufacturer or place of purchase for instructions regarding a refund or disposal.
