Lao Chareune Foods in Dallas, Texas is recalling approximately 8,200 pounds of beef and pork products because they were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and misbranded, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced Monday. The company is recalling: -3-oz. and 8-oz. packages containing “Pork Snack Stick” -3.20-oz. packages containing “Seasoned Fried Beef” -1.76-oz. packages containing “Fried Pork Skins” -1.20-oz. packages containing “Sliced Fried Pork Ears.” Each package bears the establishment number “EST. 13479” inside the USDA mark of inspection — see labels here. According to FSIS, there are no production or expiration dates on the products in commerce. The pork snack stick is also misbranded because it is raw and as such cannot be labeled as a snack stick. The agency said the recalled products were produced between May 22 and Oct 15 and were ultimately distributed to retail establishments in Louisiana and Texas. “The problem was discovered by FSIS enforcement personnel who identified the products in commerce labeled with the USDA mark of inspection and determined that they were produced without the benefit of inspection,” read the agency’s recall notice. “FSIS has received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a health care provider.” 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 recalled product is no longer available to consumers. If available, the retail distribution list will be posted on the FSIS website. Consumers with food safety questions can “Ask Karen,” the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at www.AskKaren.gov. “Ask Karen” live chat services are available Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day.
