Maryland Firm Recalls Raw Lamb Products Produced Without Import Inspection

Plain-English summary

E.&B.'s Natural Way, a Frederick, Maryland establishment, is recalling approximately 27,948 pounds of raw lamb products. The recall was issued because the products were not presented at the border for USDA-FSIS Import Inspection. Without the benefit of full inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists.

The affected products include Lamb Packs, Lamb Bone-In Legs, Lamb Boneless Legs, Lamb Saddles, Lamb Racks, Lamb Loins, Lamb Shoulders, Lamb Shanks, Lamb Trim, and Lamb for Stew. These products were packaged on October 21, 2013, and September 2, 20, 21, and 22, 2014. They bear the establishment number iIS A022 EFTA and include a label indicating “Product of Iceland.” The products were shipped to retail establishments in Washington and Oregon where they would have been repackaged.

The issue was discovered during a routine review using the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) database. The failure-to-present occurred because the importing establishment did not follow appropriate procedures. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
