The issue came to light during routine surveillance activities at a retailer, where FSIS discovered meat and poultry products from Myanmar, which are not eligible for export to the U.S.
Retailers who have purchased the products are urged not to sell them. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and return them to the place of purchase.
In case you experience harm from this product, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve issues and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance. If symptoms persist, seek medical care.
