Plain-English summary
Nuevo Garcia Foods, LLC, a San Antonio, Texas establishment, is recalling approximately 4,784 pounds of fully cooked pulled pork product due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The product may contain soy lecithin, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product label.
The affected product consists of 2-lb. packages of “H-E-B SMOKEHOUSE FULLY COOKED SMOKED SEASONED PULLED PORK WITH BBQ SAUCE” with lot code “3135” and Best By Dates of 8/18/2023, 8/25/2023, and 9/1/2023. These items bear establishment number “13205-A” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were shipped to an H-E-B warehouse for distribution to retail locations in Texas.
