Evans Food Group Recalls Pork Skin Products Due to Undeclared Soy

Evans Food Group is recalling ready-to-eat pork skin products because the variety pack label fails to declare soy, a known allergen.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves allergen mislabeling on a common allergen (soy), which corresponds to a severity score of 3 per the rubric, despite the agency's Class II classification.

Plain-English summary

Evans Food Group Ltd. is recalling approximately 3,796 pounds of ready-to-eat pork skin products due to misbranding. The specific product involved is the 10-oz. box of “Mac’s CHICHARRONES PORK SKINS Hot & Spicy VARIETY PACK 10 SINGLES,” which contains 1-oz. bags of “Mac’s CHICHARRONES PORK SKINS RED HOT FRIED PORK SKINS.”

The recall is necessary because the red hot fried pork skins contain soy, a known allergen, which is not declared on the outside display panel of the variety pack. While soy is listed on the individual 1-oz. product labels and ingredient lists, consumers cannot see this information without opening the larger box. The affected products were produced between April 15, 2020, and May 11, 2020, and bear establishment number “EST. 7293.”

These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide. The issue was discovered by the establishment during a records review. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
