Plain-English summary

Supermercado Selectos, a firm based in San Sebastián, Puerto Rico, is recalling approximately 15,315 pounds of raw, frozen beef, pork, chicken, and turkey products. These items were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. The products were produced on various dates from August 2017 to May 31, 2018.

The recalled items include various cuts of beef, pork, chicken, and turkey, such as ground beef, stew meat, chops, thighs, and fajitas, packaged in 1-lb to 2-lb plastic-wrapped packages. The products were shipped to DGA Food Service, LLC, which further distributed them to Head Start Child and Adult Care Food Programs in Puerto Rico. Although USDA provides reimbursement for meals in these programs, these specific products were purchased commercially and were not provided by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service.

The issue was discovered during a routine inspection by FSIS investigators on May 23, 2018. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
