Plain-English summary

Mr. Wok Foods, a Las Vegas, Nevada establishment, is recalling approximately 14,760 pounds of raw pork nugget products. The recall is due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. The product contains wheat, which is not declared on the product labels.

The recalled product consists of 10 lb. cases of "Battered, deep fried pork nugget" with packaging dates between January 25, 2014, and June 25, 2014. The products bear EST. 20783 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The raw pork nuggets were produced between January 25, 2014, and June 25, 2014, and were distributed for use in hotels, restaurants, and institutions in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The issue was discovered by FSIS inspection personnel during a food safety assessment. Investigation determined that the flour used in the products contained wheat, a result of a change in flour supplier. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
