Plain-English summary
Espi's Sausage and Tocino Co. is recalling approximately 2,048 pounds of frozen ready-to-eat chicken and pork hot dog products. The recall involves 12-oz vacuum-packed packages of “Argentina MIGHTY MEATY CHICKEN AND PORK HOTDOG JUMBO” with a SELL BY date of 051922. These products bear the establishment number “EST. P-17524” inside the USDA mark of inspection and were produced on May 19, 2021.
The recall was initiated because the firm received confirmation from a third-party lab that a product contact surface tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes. The products were shipped to a distributor in California and further distributed to retail locations. 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 and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. FSIS advises those at increased risk of foodborne illness to reheat hot dogs to a minimum internal temperature of 165°F or until steaming hot before eating.
