Recall of 30,081 pounds of pâté that was imported and sent nationwide without inspection

About 30,081 pounds of pork pâté was recalled because it was made at what the USDA calls an “ineligible establishment” in France and distributed around the United States without USDA inspection.

Los Angeles metropolitan area company AH Company International Distribution imported the pâté, which is sold under the Monique Ranou brand. The containers carry French establishment number “FR 56-246-008 CE.”

The USDA rates this a Class 1 recall, meaning “This is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”

This covers:

240-gram cans of Monique Ranou Pâté de Foie.

240-gram cans of Monique Ranou Pâté de Campagne.
