Plain-English summary

GLG Trading Inc., a Chino, California establishment, is recalling approximately 96,810 pounds of beef tallow products. The affected items are heat-treated, shelf-stable "Ming Yang Hotpot Seasoning" packages in three varieties: Slightly spicy (17.6-oz.), Super spicy/Extremely (17.6-oz.), and Medium spicy/Mala (12.07-oz.).

The recall was initiated because the beef tallow was imported from the People’s Republic of China, which is an ineligible country for beef, without the benefit of FSIS import re-inspection. The products do not bear a Federal mark of inspection. These items were distributed to distributors, retail locations, and restaurants in Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, New York, and Texas.

The issue was discovered during verification activities. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
