High - Class I USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service

Ghanaianway Restaurant and Grocery LLC Fresh Salted Lamb products recall: Produced Without Benefit of Inspection

Recall published 11 months ago

Produced Without Benefit of Inspection

The hazard: Produced without federal inspection

The product skipped federal inspection, or came from a source not eligible to export to the United States, which makes it ineligible for sale regardless of its condition.

What the notice says: Produced Without Benefit of Inspection

Why it matters: The product reached consumers without the federal inspection U.S. law requires, or was imported from a country not eligible to export it. No specific contaminant has necessarily been found — what is missing is the assurance that it was checked at all.

Symptoms and when to call a doctor

There is no particular illness to watch for, because the recall reflects a missing process rather than a known pathogen. Treat any unexplained stomach upset after eating it the way you would any suspected food poisoning, and mention the product if you see a clinician.

This page is general information, not medical advice. If you feel unwell, a clinician who can see you is the only person able to judge your case.

What to do about Uninspected

Ghanaianway Restaurant and Grocery LLC — The product skipped federal inspection, or came from a source not eligible to export to the United States, which makes it ineligible for sale regardless of its condition.

  1. Do not eat it, and do not serve it — the recall stands even though no contaminant has been named.
  2. Report the seller to USDA FSIS or the FDA if the product is still being offered.
  3. Return it to the store for a refund, or bin it sealed.
  4. Check the establishment number on your pack against the one in the notice; that number is how these recalls are scoped.

Refunds, and what else you can claim

The purchase price is the floor, not the ceiling. Where a recall caused you a real cost, say so.

  • Claim the refund at the store first; it is the fastest route and needs the least paperwork.
  • If you bought several packs over time, list them. Firms routinely settle for more than a single unit when a customer asks.
  • Medical costs, lost earnings or a spoiled event are not handled at the service desk. Write to the company contact on this page instead, with dates and documents.
  • Keep copies of everything you send. If a recall caused harm, that file is what any later claim rests on.
