Plain-English summary

Ocho Rios, a Miami, Florida establishment, is recalling approximately 7,228 pounds of canned corned beef produced in Brazil. The products were imported on August 7, 2015, but 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). Because the products did not receive full inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists.

The recalled products are 18-lb. packages containing 24 12-oz. cans of Corned Beef with Juices. They bear establishment number Brasil 226 S.I.F. inside the mark from Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture. The cases contain the shipping mark BT/7100366 MIAMI, and the cans have codes 16952U, 16951U, 15251U, or 15252U. These products were shipped to retail locations in Florida and one distribution center in Georgia for further distribution.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
