C & H Meat Is Recalling Approximately 79,400 Pounds of Marinated Pork and Chicken Products

The products that are being recalled by the company are 10-oz. packages and bulk packages of Korean Brand BBQ Flavored Spicy Pork Butt; Marinated Spicy Pork Butt; and Korean Brand BBQ Flavored Spicy Boneless Chicken Leg Meat.

These products may feature the establishment number EST. 4831 or P-4831 inside the USDA mark of inspection.

They were produced on various dates through 16 January and distributed to retail establishments and restaurants in California.

The problem was identified by the FSIS during a food safety assessment. Although MSG is a sub-ingredient in the spice blend used to make the product, it was not listed on the label.

FSIS and BEF Foods have not received any reports of illnesses linked to the consumption of these products. Consumers concerned about an adverse reaction have been asked to contact a healthcare provider.

Although MSG is not classified as an allergen, it can lead to a reaction in people with sensitivity to MSG. For this reason, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires it to be listed on the label.
