Pelmen Foods Recalls Beef, Chicken and Pork Products Produced Without Benefit of Import Inspection

Agency Publication Date: October 30, 2015

Summary

Pelmen Foods is recalling approximately 332 pounds of its Russian-inspired Siberian Recipe (Pork & Beef) and Chicken Pelmeni dumplings. These products were sold in 12.4 lb. cases containing 12 bags each in Illinois and Wisconsin between October 8, 2015, and October 30, 2015. The recall was initiated because the products were imported from Canada and distributed in the U.S. without undergoing required federal import inspection.

Risk

Consuming meat and poultry products that have not been inspected at the U.S. point of entry poses a possibility of adverse health consequences, as FSIS cannot verify the safety or quality of the production process.
