JBS Recalls Raw Boneless Beef Products Distributed Without Import Re-inspection

Plain-English summary

JBS Food Canada ULC, a Brooks, Alberta, Canada establishment, is recalling approximately 38,406 pounds of boneless beef head meat products. The raw, frozen items were imported on July 13, 2020, and subsequently processed by another company into ground beef products. The specific products subject to recall are 80-lb. boxes containing eight, 10-lb. chubs of “BALTER MEAT COMPANY 73/27 GROUND BEEF” with specific use-by dates and lot codes.

The recall was initiated after the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) determined through routine surveillance that the product had bypassed FSIS import re-inspection. The products bear establishment number “EST. 11126” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to distribution centers in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina for further distribution to retail locations.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
