Why it’s dangerous

These products were illegally imported from Mexico without proper certification, do not have a USDA inspection mark, and were not re-inspected by FSIS before entering the U.S. They are unfit for human consumption due to import violations.

Who’s affected

Consumers who purchased beef tallow products labeled 'INCA GRASA COMESTIBLE DE SEBO BOVINO' in Arizona retailers. People with these products in their pantries or on shelves are most at risk.

How to tell if you have this one

Look for 1-kg or 500-g bag packages labeled 'INCA GRASA COMESTIBLE DE SEBO BOVINO' in Arizona retailers. Products without a USDA inspection mark or establishment number are affected.
