WASHINGTON – Yumei Foods USA Inc. of City of Industry, California, is recalling approximately 9,370 pounds of imported Siluriformes products.
The products were imported from China, a country ineligible to export processed Siluriformes products to the U.S., the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Monday.
The following products are subject to recall, regardless of the product date:
- 13.051 oz. (370g) plastic packages containing “FISH FILLET WITH SPICY SOUP” Freeze Dried Technology Fish. No Preservative.
- 12.35 oz. (350g) plastic packages containing “FISH FILLET WITH PICKLED SOUP” Freeze Dried Technology Fish. No Preservative.
The products do not bear an establishment number nor a USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail and wholesale locations nationwide. The problem was discovered during a routine FSIS surveillance activity of imported products. China is eligible to import raw Siluriformes products into the U.S., but not processed or ready to eat Siluriformes products.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that consumers may still be in possession of the product. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
Consumers and members of the media with questions about the recall can contact Jiazhuo Xie, Owner, Yumei Foods USA, Inc., at 626-270-5010.
