Food Safety News

A California company is recalling almost 300,000 pounds of ready-to-eat corned beef that was imported and distributed in the United States without the benefit of import re-inspection, according to the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

Milky Way International Trading Corp., doing business as MW Polar of Norwalk, CA, imported the corned beef from Australia on various dates. The products have various “best before” dates. The product cases are labeled with various shopping marks.

“The problem was discovered after FSIS received a tip from an industry representative indicating that corned beef product received from Milky Way did not undergo FSIS import reinspection,” according to the FSIS recall notice.
