Plain-English summary

Corn Maiden Foods, Inc., a Harbor City, California establishment, has added additional items to its recall list for beef and pork products. The expansion, announced on April 27, 2015, includes specific cases of Tamales with Pork Carnitas, Green Chile & Oregano Wrapped in Corn Husks. These items were originally part of a 15,600-pound recall initiated on April 11, 2015, which also covered pork tamales, pork Yucatan, and beef brisket taquitos. The total poundage of the recall has not changed with this addition.

The recall is due to misbranding and the presence of hydrolyzed soy protein, a known allergen, which is not declared on the product labels. The affected products bear the establishment number EST. 20949 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to hotels, restaurants, and institutional locations in California. The issue was identified by FSIS in-plant personnel during routine verification activities.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Consumers with questions can contact Pascal Dropsy, President of Corn Maiden Foods, Inc., at (310) 784-0400, ext. 221, or use the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
