Canyon Creek Soup Co. Recalls Uninspected Vietnamese Beef Meatball Soup Kits

Plain-English summary

Canyon Creek Soup Co., an establishment in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, is recalling approximately 7,275 pounds of meatball soup products. The recall involves 291 cases of 2.56 lb. plastic soup package kits labeled “Vietnamese inspired Pho Bo Vein.” These kits contain broth with meatballs, rice noodles, sriracha packets, and hoisin packets. The affected products bear package codes 16AL20 or 16AL24 and establishment number “EST. 422” inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated because the soup kits were imported on January 29, 2016, without being presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection. A Customs and Border Protection official notified the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that the items had been shipped without the benefit of full inspection. Without this inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists. The products were shipped to retail outlets in California.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. The products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
