Sempio Food Services Inc. is recalling about 4,596 pounds of ready-to-eat chicken stew imported from South Korea because the products did not receive required U.S. import reinspection, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service. The products were distributed to retailers and distributors in Georgia and seven other states.
The recall covers 31.75-ounce (900-gram) pouches of Sempio Korean Ginseng Chicken Stew Classic and Sempio Korean Ginseng Chicken Stew Rich. The products were made March 30, 2026, and have a best-by date of Sept. 29, 2027. They bear Korean establishment number GIA15001 and shipping mark MK-2026-0422-01. FSIS has posted the product labels.
In addition to Georgia, the products were distributed in Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. FSIS found the problem during routine surveillance. No illnesses or injuries linked to the products have been confirmed, the agency said.
Consumers should not eat the recalled stew. FSIS advises throwing it away or returning it to the place of purchase. Retailers should not sell it.
