Plain-English summary

E B Express Provisions, a distributor and importer of record located in Newark, N.J., is recalling approximately 622 pounds of canned pork and beef bean stew products. The recall involves 430g cans of “Anglo Feijoada Pronta para servir” and “Bordon Feijoada PRONTO PARA SERVIR” that bear establishment number “76 S.I.F.” on the can. These products were imported from an establishment in Brazil that is not eligible to export meat products to the United States.

The issue was identified when the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) conducted recall effectiveness checks for a separate recall (027-2023) and discovered these ineligible products. The items were shipped to retail locations in Maryland, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire. 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. FSIS recommends that consumers throw the products away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
