Plain-English summary

Sulu Organics LLC, a Bartlett, Illinois establishment, is recalling approximately 6,166 pounds of pork lard and beef tallow products. The items were produced on various dates from December 2024 through May 2025 and shipped to retail locations nationwide. The specific products subject to recall include 50-lb. boxes of Sulu NUTRITION 100% PURE BEEF TALLOW, 7-lb. and 4-lb. buckets of Sulu TREAT YOUR SOUL BEEF TALLOW, 1.5-lb. jars of Sulu TREAT YOUR SOUL BEEF TALLOW, and 4-lb. and 7-lb. buckets of Sulu TREAT YOUR SOUL LARD.

The recall was initiated because the products were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and do not bear the USDA mark of inspection. FSIS personnel determined that the establishment purchased pork lard and bulk beef tallow from an FSIS regulated facility and produced product into smaller retail size containers that were relabeled without the benefit of FSIS inspection. The issue was discovered after FSIS received consumer complaints that the products for sale online did not bear the mark of inspection.

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. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
