Plain-English summary

Dahlia Imports, LLC, a Newark, New Jersey firm, is recalling approximately 196,019 pounds of raw, frozen bone-in goat products. The products were imported from Australia on or around April 11, 2022, September 28, 2022, December 27, 2022, and January 3, 2023. The recalled items include various cuts such as cubed pieces, skin-on cubed pieces, and assorted cuts, packaged in cases with specific shipping marks.

The recall was initiated because the products were not presented for import reinspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Consequently, the products do not bear the USDA mark of inspection, although they do bear the Australia establishment seal “101.” The issue was discovered during routine FSIS surveillance activities at retail stores. The products were shipped to distributors in California, Illinois, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, and Texas, and were further distributed to Arizona and other states.

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. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
