Raw and Ready-To-Eat Pork Products Recalled
L&R Fine Fashions, Inc., a Garden Grove, Calif., establishment, is recalling approximately 2,182 pounds of raw pork paste and ready-to-eat fried pork loaf products because they contain an undeclared allergen, wheat, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. Wheat is a known allergen, which is not declared on the label.
The products subject to recall include:
- 11-ounce packages of KIM LOAN GIÒ SÔNG PORK PASTE FISH SAUCE ADDED.
- 14-ounce chubs of KIM LOAN CHÁ CHIÊN FRIED PORK LOAF FISH SAUCE ADDED.
Each product bears the establishment number EST. 40074 inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products subject to recall were produced between Jan. 22, 2010 and Dec. 6, 2010. These products were distributed to retail establishments in Southern California.
The problem was discovered by FSIS during a labeling review at the establishment. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an allergic reaction should contact a physician.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
Consumer and media with questions about the recall should contact the company's treasurer, R. Miller at (714) 971-5626.
