Plain-English summary

Food Club Corp., an importer formerly located in Los Altos, California, and now in Key Biscayne, Florida, is recalling approximately 3,233 pounds of pork products. The products were produced in Spain by Sociedad Cooperativa Valle de Los Pedroches and were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

The recall includes whole hams of COVAP JAMÓN DE BELLOTA 100% IBERICO BONE IN DRY CURED ACORN FED IBERICO PORK HAM with lot numbers 13314, 14124, 14444, or 14503, and 2.5-oz. individually wrapped packages of COVAP JAMÓN DE BELLOTA DRY CURED ACORN FED IBERICO SLICED HAM with lot numbers 13323, 13472, 14105, 14344, 14423, or 14484. These products were shipped to customers via the Internet in California and bear establishment number Spain 29 inside the Spain mark of inspection. Sell-by dates range from June 19, 2014, through Dec. 10, 2015.

The issue was discovered during a routine review of import shipment data, which showed the product failed to present for FSIS re-inspection at a San Francisco point of entry and was detained at a Los Altos mailing warehouse. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
