DEH Food Recall on Corned Beef Products from Brazil

The Department of Environmental Health (DEH) is advising the public that an alert has been issued concerning the recall of corned beef products from Brazil because the products are alleged to have been processed with contaminated meat.

The DEH has requested all importers, wholesalers and retailers who have corned beef products originating from Brazil to withdraw the product from sale as a precautionary measure until further notice.

DEH, in cooperation with other government agencies, is currently investigating this matter to determine the next steps and will keep the public informed of further developments regarding the safety of this food product.

"We do not yet have all of the information but we wanted to alert the public and be proactive in this situation,” said DEH Director Roydell Carter.

If members of the public have any corned beef products originating from Brazil they should avoid eating these products until further notice.
