Over 500,000 Pounds of Pork Recalled: USDA

More than 500,000 pounds of pork were recalled, according to an alert from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

Produced by Morris Meat Packing, 515,000 pounds of pork products were produced “without the benefit of federal inspection and outside inspection hours,” the USDA said in a news release on Friday.

The items were produced over two years, from Nov. 25, 2017, until Nov. 9, 2019, the release said.

According to the agency, “The products subject to recall bear establishment number EST. 18267 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributors and retail locations in Illinois.”

The recall was initiated after an anonymous tip was submitted to the USDA about the firm not inspecting its products.

“There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider,” the agency stated, adding that the USDA “is concerned that some product may be in consumers refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.”
