Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

B & R Meat Processing is recalling approximately 2,129 pounds of various cured and uncured pork products, including bacon, ham, sausage, and hocks, sold in Arkansas. These items, produced between June 9, 2014, and April 1, 2015, were sold at local stores and farmers markets in cryovac packages ranging from 0.5 to 2 lbs. The recall was initiated due to a processing deviation that may have resulted in staphylococcal enterotoxin contamination.

Risk

The products may be contaminated with staphylococcal enterotoxin, which can cause food poisoning when consumed. While no illnesses have been reported, this toxin is produced by bacteria during improper processing and can lead to nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramping.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your refrigerator or freezer for any B & R Meat Processing pork products with establishment number 'Est. 46910' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  2. Identify affected products by checking for 'PACK DATE' or production dates between June 9, 2014, and April 1, 2015.
  3. If you possess any of the recalled items, do not consume them; instead, return them to the place of purchase or dispose of them immediately.
  4. Contact Scott Ridenoure of B&R Meat Processing at (479) 634-2211 if you have specific questions regarding the recalled meat.
  5. For general food safety questions, call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854.
