Beef products produced without benefit of inspection recalled
OFT Inc, a Henderson, Nev., establishment, operating as Whakyung Foods, Inc., is recalling approximately 67,232 pounds of commercial-use beef leg bone extract and beef concentrate products produced in Australia and New Zealand that were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. Without the benefit of full inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists.
The concentrated extract items were produced and imported from July 29, 2014 through June 2, 2015. The following products are subject to recall:
- 44 pound bags contained in brown cardboard boxes marked “Beef Leg Bone Extract” Manufactured by Est. 662, CJ Nutracon Ltd (Australia)

- 44 pound bags contained in brown cardboard boxes marked “Beef Concentrate with Salt” Manufactured by Est. 662, CJ Nutracon Ltd (Australia)
The products subject to recall bear the establishment certification “New Zealand TBE1 Inspected” for the beef leg bone extract and identifier “Est. 662 PRODUCT OF AUSTRALIA” for the beef leg bone extract and beef concentrate with salt.
The problem was discovered on June 8, 2015 during routine FSIS surveillance activities of imported products conducted by the Recall Management and Technical Analysis Staff (RMTAS).
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
