Plain-English summary

Wei-Chuan USA, Inc., a Bell Gardens, California establishment, is recalling approximately 332 pounds of Pork Mini Buns Crab Meat Added. The recall was issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) due to misbranding and undeclared allergens. The products were formulated with fish, shellfish, and egg, which are known allergens, but were released with a label for Pork Mini Buns that did not declare these ingredients.

The affected products are 20-oz. bags of “Pork Mini Buns” produced on June 3, 2014. They bear the product code iDF03A” and the establishment number iEst. 9034” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were sold to retail establishments in California. The error occurred when the wrong film was put into the labeling machine for some of the products produced that day.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions about the recall should contact T.Y. Sheu at (562) 372-2020 or via e-mail at [email protected]. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
