Indus Foods Recalls 1,626 Pounds of Pickled Products Over Missed Inspections

3 articles · Updated · USA TODAY · Aug 21

Summary

  • Indus Foods, operating as Gangothri Foods, recalled 1,626 pounds of ready-to-eat pickled goat and chicken products on Aug. 17 after they bypassed required federal inspection.
  • FSIS said the affected 8-ounce jars were produced between Jan. 28, 2025, and May 6, 2026, and include Gangothri Goat Pickle, Gongura Goat Pickle, Chicken Pickle and Gongura Chicken Pickle.
  • The products were sold nationwide and carry a two-year shelf life, raising the chance some jars are still in consumers' homes.
  • The recall adds to a broader run of U.S. food alerts spanning salmonella-linked jalapeños, E. coli-linked berries, uninspected imported beef and other contamination or labeling risks.
