Plain-English summary

Ronald A. Chisholm, Ltd., a Toronto, Ontario establishment, is recalling approximately 12,169 pounds of skinless pork belly products. The recall was initiated because the products were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection, meaning they did not receive the benefit of full inspection. The products were produced and packaged between June 27, 2017, and July 20, 2017.

The affected items are approximately 40-lb. cardboard boxes containing "FLANC PORC, PORK BELLY." These products bear case code 815157 and establishment number 10 inside the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) mark of inspection. The shipment entered the United States from Canada on or about July 29, 2017, and was distributed to a single distributor and three federal establishments in Hawaii.

FSIS discovered the issue on August 23, 2017, during routine monitoring activities. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.
