WASHINGTON, March 28, 2009 - Halal International Processing, a York, S.C., establishment,
is recalling approximately 2,925 pounds of beef, chicken, goat, and lamb products that were mislabeled.
Poultry products labeled with the USDA mark of inspection for meat were identified in commerce.
Additionally, it was determined that the establishment was operating at times without the opportunity
of federal inspection, which is prohibited, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and
Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
All frozen meat and poultry products produced from April 3, 2008, through March 7, 2009, bearing
the establishment number "EST. 19825" inside the USDA mark of inspection, are subject to recall.
[View Labels, PDF Only] There are no production or code dates to distinguish the products that were produced under inspection
from those that were not produced under inspection. The frozen meat and poultry products were
distributed to retail establishments in North Carolina and South Carolina.
The problem was discovered after FSIS personnel identified the frozen meat and poultry products in
the marketplace. FSIS has received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products.
Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician.
Media and consumers with questions should contact Company Representative Yusef Suleiman at (704) 957-4613.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available
24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. 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.
