Plain-English summary

BMG Trading, Inc., an establishment in Oakville, Ontario, is recalling approximately 26,108 pounds of pork products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. The affected product consists of 1,800-pound approximate combo bins containing 65 to 75 legs of "PORK LEG FLANK ON COMBO." These products were produced on December 16, 2014, and bear the establishment number "394" inside the Canadian mark of inspection, along with the health certificate number "CERT. 097400."

The issue was identified during a weekly review of import shipment data using the Public Health Information System (PHIS). The products failed to present at the Canadian border for FSIS reinspection and were subsequently distributed into U.S. commerce. The recalled items were shipped to retail locations in Arizona for further processing.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to the consumption of these products. Consumers who are concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider. FSIS is conducting recall effectiveness checks to ensure the product is no longer available to consumers.
