Plain-English summary

Valley International Cold Storage Acquisition, LLC is recalling approximately 22,061 pounds of frozen beef products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The specific product involved is 9.25-oz. cartons labeled as “Healthy Choice POWER BOWLS Korean-Style Beef” with lot code “5246220320” and a “best if used by” date of 04-18-2023. These items were produced on July 22, 2022, and bear establishment number “P-34622” on the end flap of the carton.

The recall was initiated because the product contains milk, a known allergen, which is not declared on the label. Additionally, the items are labeled as Korean-Style Beef but contain a chicken sausage and pepper product. The issue was discovered after the establishment received consumer complaints that the cartons contained a chicken-based product. The products were shipped to retail locations nationwide.

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 an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
