US-based Westlake Foods is recalling approximately 47,419 pounds of cured pork products as they contain wheat which is not mentioned on the labeling, according to the US Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The recall affects 11lb. to 13lb. cases of Tay Ho Cured Pork Artificially Colored, 14oz. packs of Tay Ho Cured Pork Sausage With Pork Ears And Snouts and 11lb. to 13lb. cases of Don Café Cured Pork Meat and Binder Product Pork skin added.
These products were produced between 1 January 2013 and 22 August 2013 and distributed for institutional use, retail sales across the country.
The recalled products bear the establishment number 'EST. 1627A' inside the USDA mark of inspection and case code '233001' through '213234.'
The problem was discovered by an FSIS personnel during a routine label review and is believed to have occurred due to a change in the company's spice mix, which was not reflected on the product labels.
FSIS and Westlake Foods have to date received no reports of reactions due to consumption of these products.
