Baby Back Ribs Recalled For Lack of Inspection

Published:

Skilcor Food Products of Brampton, Ontario, recalled 36 pounds of fully cooked pork baby back ribs in honey garlic barbeque sauce today because they were not presented for inspection at the U.S. border.

The problem was discovered when U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service import staff reviewed records and discovered that the independent third-party carrier did not present product for USDA inspection at the U.S.–Canadian border.  According to a Public Health Alert released by FSIS, being recalled are 18-pound cases containing 1.5-pound packages of “Cobblestone Farms Fully Cooked Pork Baby Back Ribs in Honey Garlic Barbeque Sauce” bearing package code “Sell By 2015-AL-08” and case code “15201” bearing the Canadian mark of inspection with establishment number “624.” The product was distributed to a retailer in New York.  In its announcement, FSIS stated that it is working on solutions to prevent future failure-to-present episodes from occurring, including outreach to industry, foreign food-safety agencies and importers.
