Ghanaianway Restaurant and Grocery LLC is recalling nearly 6,000 pounds of fresh salted lamb products due to the absence of federal inspection marks, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) warns.
Newsweek reached out to the company via email on Thursday night for additional comment.
Numerous public health alerts and recalls have been issued this year due to potential damage, foodborne illness, contamination, undeclared food allergens or inspection issues.
Millions of Americans experience food sensitivities or allergies every year. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the nine “major” food allergens in the United States are eggs, milk, fish, wheat, soybeans, crustacean shellfish, sesame, tree nuts and peanuts.
According to the alert, the recalled foods were produced from March 11, 2025, to December 3, 2025. The product impacted by the recall is packaged in 15-pound plastic-lined boxes showing “GHANAIANWAY AFRICAN FOODS SALTED LAMB (KOOBI)” on the label.
According to the FSIS alert, “The products subject to recall do not bear a USDA [U.S. Department of Agriculture] mark of inspection nor do they declare a best by or production date. Some packages do not bear a label at all. The affected products have a 1-year shelf life.”
The products were distributed to retail locations and restaurants in Massachusetts, Minnesota, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania, according to the alert.
The FSIS alert also says that there have been no confirmed reports of any illnesses related to the recall, and that “The problem was discovered during routine FSIS retail surveillance activities.”
The alert also links to pictures of the recalled product’s label for customers to reference.
People who have purchased the recalled fresh salted lamb are urged not to consume it, and to discard or return it to the original place of purchase, the alert says. Restaurants are also warned not to serve the recalled lamb product.
“FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumer and restaurant refrigerators or freezers,” the alert also notes.
Customers with additional questions about the recall may contact Ghanaianway Restaurant and Grocery LLC’s CEO via email at [email protected], the alert says. Consumers with any food safety questions in general may contact the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline via phone at 888-674-6854 or by email at [email protected], according to the alert.
