Ghanaianway Restaurant and Grocery LLC, located in Newark, New Jersey, is recalling approximately 5,970 pounds of fresh salted lamb products labeled as “Ghanaianway African Foods Salted Lamb (Koobi).” The recall was initiated due to the absence of federal inspection marks and missing production dates on the packaging, as reported by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). The affected products were produced between March 11, 2025, and December 3, 2025, and are packaged in 15-pound plastic-lined boxes.
