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 explicitly classifies this as a Class I recall, which mandates a severity score of at least 4 per the rubric, despite the absence of reported illnesses.

Plain-English summary

Sun Hing Foods, Inc., a South San Francisco, California importer, is recalling approximately 1,282 pounds of Canadian liver pâté and liver spread products. The affected items include 2.75-oz. and 4.76-oz. packages of iFLOWER® Brand Liver Pâté and 4.76-oz. packages of iFORTUNE® Brand Liver Spread, all bearing case code 215960 and Canadian establishment number 265.

The recall was initiated because the products were produced without the benefit of full USDA inspection. FSIS import staff discovered that the products were not presented for inspection at the U.S.-Canadian border by the independent third-party carrier. Although the country of origin recalled the product, FSIS issued a formal recall because the items entered U.S. commerce without proper inspection.

The products were distributed in Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. FSIS and the company have received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions should contact Sun Hing Foods or the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
