Olymel Recalls Raw Pork Products Lacking Import Inspection

Plain-English summary

Olymel S.E.C./L.P., an establishment in Alberta, Canada, is recalling approximately 4,618 pounds of raw intact pork products. The recall was announced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) on February 6, 2018. The affected products were produced between January 22, 2018, and February 5, 2018, and include various cuts such as pork belly, back ribs, leg, sirloin, and pork feet.

The reason for the recall is that the products were imported from Canada but were not presented for import re-inspection upon entry into the United States. The issue was discovered on February 5, 2018, by an FSIS import inspector. The products were shipped to retail and restaurant locations in Oregon and Washington, as well as to a Department of Defense Commissary in Japan.

FSIS has not received any confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
