Plain-English summary
Maple Leaf Foods Inc., a Manitoba, Canada establishment, is recalling approximately 4,030 pounds of boneless pork shoulder products. The recall was initiated because the products were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). Without the benefit of full inspection, a possibility of adverse health consequences exists.
The affected items are 62-lb. cartons of Pork Shoulder Blade Boneless COV 2X4, bearing establishment number 007 inside Canada's mark of inspection. These products were imported on October 31, 2015, and shipped to retail locations in California. The issue was discovered on November 3, 2015, during routine FSIS monitoring activities, which revealed that a fourth lot on a different certificate had entered the country without inspection.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these items are urged not to consume them and should throw them away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
