St. Louis, MO, October 3, 2026 — A significant quantity of imported ready-to-eat chicken stew has been recalled in the United States. The recall involves over 4,500 pounds of chicken stew originating from South Korea.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced the recall, citing the product’s failure to undergo a required reinspection after its entry into the country. The specific reason for the missed reinspection was not detailed.
The affected product is described as ready-to-eat chicken stew. Details regarding the specific brand name, packaging size, or lot codes for the recalled stew were not immediately available.
Distribution records indicate that the imported chicken stew was sent to eight different states across the U.S. The FSIS has not disclosed which specific states received the product. Information about the initial importer or distributor was also not provided.
Consumers who may have purchased this product are advised to check for the recalled item. FSIS is working to confirm that the product has been removed from the market. The agency stated that the contractor’s name was not provided, and the exact timeline of when the product entered the U.S. or when the missed reinspection occurred was not specified in the available information.
There is no information available at this time regarding any immediate health concerns linked to the product, as the recall is based on the regulatory issue of the missed inspection rather than confirmed contamination or safety defects. FSIS has not reported any adverse events associated with consumption of the stew.
The recall highlights the importance of the reinspection process for imported food products to ensure they meet U.S. safety standards before reaching consumers. Further details are expected to be released as the investigation and recall process continues.
