Plain-English summary

E.N.A. Meat Packing Inc., a Paterson, N.J. establishment, is recalling approximately 58,721 pounds of frozen, raw halal beef tripe, beef feet, and lamb tripe products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on August 9, 2023. The affected products were produced between January 2023 and August 2023 and bear establishment number #17778M inside the USDA mark of inspection.

The recall was initiated because FSIS determined that the firm produced these beef and lamb products without the benefit of federal inspection. The products were shipped to distributors and retail locations in New Jersey and New York. They are typically found in approximately 30-lb. cardboard boxes for beef tripe and lamb tripe, and approximately 25-lb. cardboard boxes for beef feet.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, 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.
