(NewsNation) — Sabrositos Hondurenos, LLC, is recalling about 32,000 pounds of various meat products after they did not go through proper federal inspection, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service.
On Thursday, the New Jersey-based company issued a nationwide recall for meat products including chorizo, pork chops and ribs.
The recalled meats were never federally inspected and instead labeled with “Est. 1785,” a false USDA mark of inspection that “does not exist,” according to the FSIS.
“Food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants that put consumer health and safety at risk,” the FSIS said.
The products were produced on various dates before Aug. 20 and shipped to retailers and restaurants around the country.
The FSIS is advising consumers who purchased the misbranded products to discard them or return them to where they were purchased. Restaurants and retailers should throw them away.
So far, there have been no reported illnesses in connection with the recalled meats.
The following products are affected in the recall:
- 14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing homestyle chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Suelto Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
- 14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked pork chops labeled “OLANCHO Chuleta Ahumada Olanchana SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
- 14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Ahumado Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
- 14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing cased homestyle chorizo, labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Olanchano Criollo SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
- 14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked BBQ spicy chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Parrillero SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
