Westlake Foods, a Santa Ana, California establishment, is recalling about 69,123 pounds of cured pork products over misbranding and undeclared allergens, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The products contain wheat and soy, known allergens which are not declared on the labels.
The latest recall affects 12-lb. blocks of "Pate Gan Tay Ho Liverwurst Spread" distributed in cases for restaurant and wholesale use nationwide; and 6-oz. cups of "PATE GAN TAY HO LIVERWURST SPREAD" distributed at retail, restaurants and wholesale locations nationwide.
This recall builds on the earlier recall on 23 August when the company recalled 47,419 pounds of pork products including Tay Ho Cured Pork Artificially Colored, Tay Ho Cured Pork Sausage With Pork Ears And Snouts, and Don Café Cured Pork Meat and Binder Product Pork skin added.
All of the products bear the establishment number EST. 1627A inside the USDA Mark of Inspection. They can be further identified by a case code 213001 through 213234. All products were produced between 1 January 2013, and 22 August 2013.
The problem was discovered by an FSIS inspector during a routine label review. The problem is believed to have occurred due to a change in the company's spice mix, which was not reflected on the products' labels.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions linked to consumption of these products. Consumers concerned about a reaction have been advised to contact a healthcare provider.
