Plain-English summary

Knockum Hill Bar-B-Que, a Herndon, Kentucky establishment, is recalling approximately 350 pounds of hickory smoked, pit cooked barbecue pork products. The recall was initiated due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The products are formulated with a basting sauce containing margarine that includes soy, a known allergen that is not declared on the product label. The soy is present in the form of soy lecithin, liquid soybean oil, and partially hydrogenated soybean oil.

The recalled products are 1 lb. white tubs labeled "KNOCKUM HILL BAR-B-QUE HICKORY SMOKED PIT COOKED BARBECUED PORK." They were produced on April 11, 2014, and April 18, 2014, and bear expiration dates of April 25, 2014, or May 2, 2014. The products carry the establishment number Est. 18138 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were distributed to retail establishments in Kentucky.

The issue was identified by FSIS personnel during a routine label review, which determined that the margarine used in the basting sauce contained soy products. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions from the consumption of these products. Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Oscar Hill at (270) 271-2957. Those concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
