  • 1-lb. clear plastic containers of raw beef dumplings. The product is marked “HALAL MANTI” and instructs the consumer to “KEEP FROZEN”.

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 19829” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to retail and restaurant locations in Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, and New York.

The problem was discovered on Sept. 5, 2018, during an FSIS inspection at Roya Foods, LLC, a distribution warehouse. FSIS determined that Establishment 19829 is not associated with Roya Foods, LLC, or the recalled product. 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 is concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’ freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.

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
