What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source metadata explicitly classifies this as a Class I recall, which corresponds to a Severe severity score under the rubric, as Class I indicates a reasonable probability of serious adverse health consequences or death.

Plain-English summary

Jinon Corporation, doing business as Nijiya Market, is recalling approximately 359 pounds of frozen boneless beef products. The products, which include various cuts such as Tender Loin, Chuck Roll, Ribeye, and Brisket, were produced in Japan on August 6, 2014, and imported in September 2014. The importer cut, repackaged, and sold these items at a retail store in Torrance, California.

The recall was initiated because FSIS import staff discovered that the importer did not present the products for USDA inspection at the U.S. point of entry. Without the benefit of full inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Mitsuhiro Ueda, Merchandising Purchasing Manager, at (310) 787-3305. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. Consumers with food safety questions can contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 or visit AskKaren.gov.
