WASHINGTON, April 6, 2012 - Quality Food Distributor, a Las Vegas, Nev., establishment, is
recalling approximately 50,820 pounds of Steamed BBQ Flavored Pork Buns because it contains monosodium
glutamate (MSG), which is not declared on the label, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and
Inspection Service announced today.
The following product is subject to recall:
- Approximately 12-lb cases of "STEAMED BBQ FLAVORED PORK BUNS," containing 96 pork buns per case.
The product subject to recall bears the establishment number "EST. 34064" inside the USDA mark of
inspection. This product was produced between April 5, 2011, and April 4, 2012, and was sold to a distributor in
Las Vegas, Nev. This product may have been further distributed to restaurants.
The problem was discovered by FSIS personnel during a label review conducted in conjunction with a routine food
safety assessment. FSIS has determined that the MSG was contained in the marinade used during the cooking process
and was left off the label of the final product. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse
reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare
provider.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks (including at restaurants) to verify recalling firms notify
their customers of the recall and to ensure that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer
available to consumers.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall should contact the company's Owner, Joyce Kwan, at (702) 889-0505.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available
24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov
or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov. "Ask Karen" live chat
services are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry
Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from
l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day. |
