Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Montpak International Inc. is recalling approximately 4,365 pounds of veal and lamb products, including bone-in cuts, cutlets, and whole carcasses. These products were imported from Canada but were not presented for the required safety re-inspection at the United States border. Approximately 1,248 pounds of the affected product have been recovered to date, and while no illnesses have been reported, consumers are urged to check their refrigerators and freezers for these items.

Risk

The products were distributed without undergoing the required USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) import re-inspection, meaning their safety for consumption cannot be verified.
