“Canyon Creek Recalls Pho Soup Kits Due to Inspection Failure.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275538-canyon-creek-recalls-pho-soup-kits-due-to-inspection-failure. Based on USDA FSIS recall #017-2016 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/canyon-creek-soup-co.-recalls-beef-products-produced-without-benefit-import).
Why it’s dangerous
The products were shipped without being presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection by the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Without this mandatory oversight, there is an unverified possibility that the meat products could pose a risk of adverse health consequences to consumers.
Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased the recalled soup kits at retail outlets in California between the import date and the recall announcement are affected. While no adverse reactions have been confirmed, anyone who has consumed these products should monitor their health and contact a healthcare provider if concerned.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for plastic soup package kits labeled 'Vietnamese inspired Pho Bo Vein' inside a kit containing broth with meatballs, rice noodles, sriracha packets, and hoisin packets. Check for package codes '16AL20' or '16AL24' on the packaging. The label will also display establishment number 'EST. 422' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
