Plain-English summary

Nueske's Meat Products, Inc., a Wittenberg, Wisconsin establishment, is recalling approximately 12,946 pounds of fully cooked braised pork products. The recall is due to misbranding, as the products may contain brown rice flour and glycerin, ingredients that are not declared on the product label.

The affected items include 1-lb. 6-oz. packages of Nueske's Braised Pork Medallions and 2.5-lb. packages of Nueske's Braised Pork Shank. These products were packaged between February 24, 2017, and May 23, 2018, and bear establishment number EST. 20341. The items were shipped directly to consumers nationwide via internet and mail order sales. The issue was discovered on June 29, 2018, when the firm informed the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) that a supplier had reformulated the product without notification.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions can contact Tammy Beran, Quality Assurance Director, at (715) 253-4058.
