WASHINGTON, Nov. 30, 2004 - Stark Foods, Inc., a Brooklyn, New York, firm is voluntarily recalling
approximately 154 pounds of ready-to-eat meat and poultry products that were ineligible for import to the U.S., the Food
Safety and Inspection Service announced today. Germany is prohibited from exporting beef and poultry products to the
U.S. because of animal health regulations. While Germany is eligible to export pork products to the U.S., the producing
firm in Germany is not eligible to export such products to the U.S.
The products subject to recall are:
- "Maggi Ein Teller, REISTOPF mit Huhn" canned chicken product.
- "Maggi Ein Teller, NUDELTOPF mit Huhn" canned chicken product.
- "Maggi Ein Teller, RAVIOLI 'Bolognese'" canned beef product.
- "Maggi Ein Teller, LINSENTOPF mit Speck" canned pork product.
- "Maggi Meisterklasse, Rindfleischuppe mit Fleischklosschen" dried soup with meatballs.
- "Maggi Meisterklasse, Fruhlingssuppe mit Fleischklosschen" dried soup with meatballs.
- "Maggi, PASTARIA, Bolognese, Spirelli in Tomaten-Fleischsause" dried pasta with meat.
FSIS has received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products. However, these products
could present a health hazard to consumers because the country is not eligible to export beef and poultry to the U.S.
As such, these products have not been inspected by FSIS. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician.
The products were distributed to retailers and specialty stores in California, Florida, Illinois, Nevada, Texas and
Virginia.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall may call the company President Daniel Mohan at (718) 389-3116.
Consumers with food safety questions can phone the toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at l-888-MPHotline.
The hotline can be reached from l0 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday, and recorded food safety
messages are available 24 hours a day.
