Plain-English summary

OFT, Inc., a Henderson, Nevada establishment operating as Whakyung Foods, Inc., is recalling approximately 67,232 pounds of commercial-use beef leg bone extract and beef concentrate products. These products were produced in Australia and New Zealand and imported between July 29, 2014, and June 2, 2015. The recall involves 44-pound bags of beef leg bone extract and beef concentrate with salt manufactured by CJ Nutracon Ltd (Australia) and Taranaki Bio Extracts Ltd (New Zealand).

The recall was initiated because the products were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Without the benefit of full inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists. The issue was discovered on June 8, 2015, during routine FSIS surveillance activities of imported products.

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. FSIS is conducting recall effectiveness checks to verify that customers are notified and the product is no longer available.
