FSIS warns of Myanmar meat and poultry

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is urging consumers to avoid certain meat and poultry products imported illegally from Myanmar. These products lack proper inspection and may pose a health risk.

The recall involves various canned and packaged meat items, including beef curry, chicken biryani, duck blood, and fish. The full list includes -

180-g cans of "BEST BEEF CURRY"

425-g cans of "BEST Chicken Biryani"

360-g cans of "Hti Mi Gwik Dry MoHinGa Paste"

425-g cans of "BEST Myanmar Duck Blood"

400-g cans of "Eain Chak MoHinGa Paste"

160-g vacuum sealed packages of "Min Thar Gyi Dried Fish"

400-g cans of "Eain Chak Coconut Soup Paste"

These products lack a USDA inspection mark and establishment number, raising concerns about their safety and origin. They were distributed to retailers in Arizona, California, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Minnesota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas.

The FSIS is investigating how these products entered the country. Thankfully, no illnesses have been linked to these products yet. However, FSIS urges anyone who purchased them to throw them away or return them to the store.

Consumers with questions can contact the FSIS at 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) or visit their website at https://foodcomplaint.fsis.usda.gov/eCCF/.

Video: Making budget friendly pig feed on a small livestock farm

I am going to show you how we save our farm money by making our own pig feed. It's the same process as making our cattle feed just with a slight adjustment to our grinder/ mixer that makes all the difference. We buy all the feed stuff required to make the total mix feed. Run each through the mixer and at the end of the process we have a product that can be consumed by our pigs.

I am the 2nd generation to live on this property after my parents purchased it in 1978. As a child my father hobby farmed pigs for a couple years and ran a vegetable garden. But we were not a farm by any stretch of the imagination. There were however many family dairy farms surrounding us. So naturally I was hooked with farming since I saw my first tractor. As time went on, I worked for a couple of these farms and that only fueled my love of agriculture. In 2019 I was able to move back home as my parents were ready to downsize and I was ready to try my hand at farming. Stacy and logan share the same love of farming as I do. Stacy growing up on her family's dairy farm and logans exposure of farming/tractors at a very young age. We all share this same passion to grow a quality/healthy product to share with our community. Join us on this journey and see where the farm life takes us.
