BCI Foods Recalls Meat and Poultry Soup Products Lacking Import Inspection

Plain-English summary

BCI Foods, Inc., a Quebec, Canada firm, is recalling approximately 3,304 pounds of meat and poultry soup products. The recall involves four specific varieties of canned soup, including Chicken & Wild Rice, Italian-Style Wedding with Meatballs & Chicken, Chunky Beef with Country Vegetables, and Chunky Sirloin Burger with Country Vegetables. These products were imported on July 17, 2019, and shipped to Aldi stores in New York and Pennsylvania.

The recall was initiated because the products were not presented for import re-inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Consequently, the items do not bear the USDA mark of inspection, although they display the Canadian establishment number 142. The issue was identified during routine FSIS monitoring activities of imported products.

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. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
