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 recall is classified as USDA Class I, which indicates a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, the regulated article will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. The presence of metal in food presents a significant injury risk.

Plain-English summary

Hoyo, SBC, a Bloomington, Minnesota establishment, is recalling approximately 1,046 pounds of frozen, ready-to-eat beef sambusa products. The recall is due to the possible presence of extraneous materials, specifically thin, wire-like metal, on the outside of the product. The affected items are bulk boxes containing 75 pieces of “HOYO Beef Sambusa Ground Beef Pastry with Onions and Spices” with lot codes N341-S and N333-S. These products were produced on December 30, 2022, and February 21, 2023, and bear establishment number EST. 47424.

The issue was identified after a school reported that food handlers found thin, wire-like metal on the exterior of the product during preparation. The metal was not reported to be embedded in the food. The products were shipped to schools in Minnesota through commercial sales, not as part of the USDA National School Lunch Program. FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in school freezers.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions or injuries from consuming these products. Schools are urged not to serve the recalled items. Consumers should throw the product away or return it to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
