Galant Food Company of San Leandro, CA, is recalling approximately 410 pounds of beef products because the meat filling used in the products did not meet its cooking critical limit, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Monday.
The products subject to the recall include:
- 4.5-oz. Galina’s Original Beef and Cheese Piroshki, 12 or 24 per case, with case codes 092214, 092314 and 092414
- 5-oz. Paramount Beef Piroshki, 25 per case, with case codes 092314
The products, which bear the establishment number “EST.9014,” were produced Sept. 22-24, 2014, and then shipped to a retailer in the San Francisco Bay area and a distributor in Northern California. The problem was discovered by FSIS personnel who were at the establishment reviewing records. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse illnesses due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness 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. Consumers with questions about the recall may contact Len Galant at (510) 614-7150.
