Plain-English summary

New Universal Nourishment LLC, a Miami Beach, Florida firm, is recalling approximately 368 pounds of raw, frozen beef burger patty products. The affected items include 2-lb. boxes of “MIAMI Burgers 6 BEST ANGUS BEEF” and 10-lb. boxes of “MIAMI Burgers BEST ANGUS BEEF.” These products were repackaged and/or relabeled on June 28, 2022, and shipped to retail locations in Florida.

The recall was initiated because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. The distributor used the mark of inspection for Establishment 451B without proper authorization and made unverifiable claims that the beef was certified Angus. FSIS determined that the distributor repackaged and relabeled the beef patty products without federal oversight.

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. Retailers are urged not to sell the products.
