Plain-English summary

Kalle USA, a Chicago-based establishment, is recalling approximately 168,473 pounds of pork products that were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection. The recall involves three specific products: SCAN PORK DP-941 Natural Dehydrated Pork Stock/National Dehydrated Pork Broth, SCAN PORK DP-1075 Natural Dehydrated Pork Stock Hot Setting, and SCAN PORK FI-805 Fresh Injection Pork Protein. These items were produced between October 18, 2013, and November 19, 2014, and bear specific packaging codes listed in the official notice.

The issue was identified during a routine review of import shipment data, which revealed that the products failed to present at a Chicago point of entry for FSIS re-inspection. Because the products were not inspected, there is a possibility of adverse health consequences. The products were distributed in 13 states, including Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who are concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. For more information, consumers can contact the company's president, John Lample, or use the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline.
