Import Violation
What happened, in plain English
Greenland Trading Corp. is recalling approximately 12,672 pounds of squab (domesticated pigeon) because the meat was not presented at the U.S. point of entry for required federal inspection. The product was imported from a French establishment that was not eligible to export meat or poultry to the United States. Because the meat bypassed full inspection, there is a possibility of adverse health consequences, although no reports of illness have been received yet.

Why it’s dangerous
The squab was imported from a French facility not eligible to export to the U.S. and was not inspected at the U.S. point of entry. This lack of inspection means the meat's safety could not be verified, creating a potential risk for adverse health consequences.
