The agency’s classification

USDA FSIS: Public Health Alert

Public Health Alert is a warning FSIS issues when there is a food-safety concern but a recall is not requested, typically because the affected product is no longer available for purchase.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves raw meat produced without federal inspection, which presents a risk of harm from potential pathogens, but the source explicitly states that no illnesses or injuries have been reported, fitting the High severity criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for raw, frozen pork dumpling products produced by Dim Sum Factory Inc. in Flushing, N.Y. The specific product affected is 1.5-lb. vacuum-packed packages of "GOGO DUMPLING Pork & Shepherd's Purse Wontons (Handmade)." These products bear establishment number EST. 1656 and were produced on various dates since September 6, 2023.

The alert was issued because the products were produced and distributed without the benefit of federal inspection. FSIS discovered during routine surveillance that the production location was not on the official premises of the establishment. The products were shipped to a distributor in New York and sold online nationwide. A formal recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. However, FSIS is concerned that some product may still be in consumers' freezers. 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.
