Plain-English summary
Demes Gourmet Corporation, a Fullerton, California establishment, is recalling approximately 29,052 pounds of poultry and pork products due to misbranding. The specific product subject to the recall is 18 lb. cases of 12 oz. tray packs of Pamana Sweet Chicken Longanisa. These items bear the establishment number P-2888 inside the USDA mark of inspection and were produced on various dates between September 17, 2014, and June 1, 2015.
The recall was initiated because the chicken sausages were wrapped in hog casings that were not listed on the product labels. Hog casings may elicit allergic reactions in rare cases among individuals known to be allergic to pork proteins. The issue was discovered by FSIS personnel during a routine food safety assessment of the company's products.
The recalled items were shipped to retail locations in California. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact Ruby Phillips, the company's office manager, at (714) 870-6040 or [email protected]. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
