Plain-English summary

Unibright Foods, Inc., a Bell Gardens, California establishment, is recalling approximately 48,139 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat sukiyaki beef and gingered pork products. The recall was initiated because the products may be contaminated with metal extraneous materials.

The affected products include 2.2 lb. packages of MISHIMA SUKIYAKI BEEF (package ID 15069) and 1.7 lb. packages of MISHIMA GINGERED PORK (package ID 15059), both bearing establishment number EST.1163. The beef was produced between August 12, 2014, and December 16, 2014, while the pork was produced between August 5, 2014, and August 6, 2014. These items were distributed to institutions and retail outlets in Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Illinois, New Jersey, and New York.

The issue was identified after a restaurant in Illinois reported finding a stainless steel wire in a sukiyaki beef product. FSIS and the company have not received reports of injury or illness from consuming these products. Consumers with questions should contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline or visit AskKaren.gov.
