E.A. Sween Company of Eden Prairie, MN, is recalling 127,887 pounds of pulled pork sandwiches that may be contaminated with pieces of plastic, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The problem was discovered after the company received multiple complaints from consumers finding pieces of plastic in the barbecue pulled pork sandwich product. E.A. Sween Company determined that the plastic originated from the gallon plastic barbecue bottles used in production.
The barbecue pulled pork sandwich items were produced on various dates between Jan. 13 and Oct. 15.
The FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
The sandwiches were shipped to retail locations nationwide and the Department of Defense.
The following product is subject to recall:
- 5.5-oz. paper wrapped “Deli EXPRESS BBQ PULLED PORK on a sesame bun” sandwiches.
The products subject to recall have the establishment number “EST. 2451” printed inside the USDA mark of inspection.
