Chunwei, a Huntington Park establishment, is recalling approximately 65,023 pounds of various ready-to-eat and raw meat and poultry products because the products are misbranded and may contain soy, wheat, dairy, egg, and sesame, known allergens, as well as monosodium glutamate (MSG), which are not declared on the finished product label, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

The products were produced on various dates from Nov. 16, 2017 through Nov. 19, 2018. The following products are subject to recall and can be found here.
The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. P-8110” or “EST. 8110” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to a distributor and to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered by FSIS Inspection Program Personnel while conducting a routine label verification task.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be consumers’ refrigerators or 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 that recalling firms are notifying their customers of the recall and that actions are being taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
