Mulan Dumpling, LLC, Recalls Frozen Meat and Poultry Dumpling Products Produced Without Benefit of Inspection
WASHINGTON, DC (STL.News) Mulan Dumpling, LLC, a Hyattsville, MD establishment, is recalling approximately 1,560 pounds of frozen meat and poultry dumpling 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.
Several types of frozen dumpling products were produced between February 20 and June 26, 2023. The following products are subject to recall [view labels]:
- 8-oz. plastic bag packages containing 10 pieces of “Mulan Dumpling Pork & Cabbage Dumplings”.
- 8-oz. plastic bag packages containing 10 pieces of “Mulan Dumpling Curry Seasoned Chicken Dumplings”.
- 8-oz. plastic bag packages containing 10 pieces of “Mulan Dumpling Shrimp & Chives Dumplings” containing pork.
Although the products subject to recall bear the USDA mark of inspection, they were produced in an establishment without a federal grant of inspection. These items were shipped to retail grocery store locations in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
FSIS discovered the problem after receiving a referral from the Maryland Department of Health and observing that the meat and poultry dumpling products were produced and sold by an establishment not inspected by FSIS.
FSIS has received no confirmed reports of adverse reactions from consuming these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. Consumers should throw these products away or return them to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify that recalling firms notify customers of the recall and take steps to ensure 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.
