Over 4,500 Pounds of Sempio Korean Ginseng Chicken Stew Recalled Due to Reinspection Issue

Lima, OH, October 3, 2026 — A significant quantity of Korean Ginseng Chicken Stew, totaling more than 4,500 pounds, is subject to a recall due to an issue involving reinspection after its import into the United States. The product, Sempio Korean Ginseng Chicken Stew, originates from South Korea.

The recall stems from the fact that the affected food products were not reinspected following their arrival in the U.S. This step is a critical part of import regulations to ensure food safety and compliance with domestic standards.

The distribution of the recalled stew has been traced to eight specific states across the U.S. These states include Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Consumers in these states who may have purchased the product are advised to be aware of the recall.

Details regarding the specific lot numbers or expiration dates of the affected products were not immediately available. Furthermore, the exact nature or outcome of any potential findings from the missed reinspection process was not disclosed. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) or other relevant regulatory bodies typically oversee such recalls, though no specific agency was named in the provided information.

Consumers seeking more information about the recall or guidance on how to handle or return the product are encouraged to consult official recall notices from regulatory agencies when they become available. The company that imported the product, Sempio, was not directly implicated in the failure of the reinspection process, but rather the product itself is being recalled based on this regulatory oversight lapse.
