FSIS Announcement

WASHINGTON, July 27, 2023 – Kingsland Food Processing Corp., a Maspeth, N.Y. establishment, is recalling an undetermined amount of various frozen meat and poultry products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.

The frozen meat and poultry products were produced on various dates ranging from November 1, 2022, through July 20, 2023. The products subject to recall, listed here, have best before dates ranging from 8/01/2023, through 4/20/2024. The labels can be viewed here.

These items were shipped directly to wholesale customers in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, and to wholesale customers in California, Florida, and Texas through distributors.

The problem was discovered when FSIS inspection personnel observed various meat and poultry products being produced in rooms that are not within the official premises of the establishment and, therefore, were not inspected.

There have been no confirmed 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 to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
