WASHINGTON – E.N.A. Meat Packing Inc., in Paterson, NJ, is recalling approximately 58,721 lbs of frozen, raw halal beef tripe, beef feet and lamb tripe products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced on Aug. 9.

The problem was discovered during FSIS surveillance activities. FSIS officials determined that the firm produced beef and lamb products without the benefit of federal inspection.

The frozen, raw beef tripe, beef feet, and lamb tripe items were produced from January 2023 through August 2023. The following products are subject to recall, regardless of the packed-on date:

  • Approximately 30-lb cardboard boxes containing “E.N.A. MEAT PACKING CORP. HALAL BEEF TRIPE (green tripe).”
  • Approximately 25-lb cardboard boxes containing “E.N.A. MEAT PACKING CORP. HALAL BEEF FEET.”
  • Approximately 30-lb cardboard boxes containing “E.N.A. MEAT PACKING CORP. HALAL LAMB TRIPE.”

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “#17778M” inside the USDA mark of inspection. 

These items were shipped to distributors and retail locations in New Jersey and New York. Consumers may see the cardboard boxes, or the product may have been taken out of the boxes and placed in the meat display at the retailer.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. 

E.N.A. Meat Packing Inc., also recalled frozen, raw lamb products imported without the benefit of import reinspection in June.
