Colorado is one of nine states affected by a recall of chicken stew products produced in the Republic of Korea , the United States Department of Agriculture said Thursday.
The items, distributed by Korean Farm Inc., a company based in Santa Fe Springs, Calif., were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection. The USGA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said, adding that without full inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists.
These products were shipped to retail locations and restaurants in Colorado, Alaska, California, Idaho, Maryland, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington. Officials said the recall includes approximately 14,610 pounds of product, including chicken stew items that were produced on Aug. 24 and Feb, 24. 2014.
The following products are subject to recall:
• 1.87-lb. pouches of “Ginseng Chicken Stew”
• 1.32-lb. pouches of “Ginseng Chicken Stew”
The products subject to recall bear the establishment number “DGA 14001” inside the South Korean mark of inspection.
The problem was discovered by FSIS import personnel during routine monitoring.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. The USGA said anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
