Summary

Farmstead Butcher Block LLC has issued a public health alert for various not-ready-to-eat pork and beef bacon products, including House Smoked, Buck Board, and Jowl bacons. These products contain sodium nitrite at levels that exceed regulatory limits, which makes them unfit for consumption. The affected items were produced between April 12, 2024, and May 31, 2024, and were sold at farmers markets, farm stores, and direct-to-consumer in Kentucky and Tennessee, as well as from the retail counter at Farmstead Butcher Block.

Risk

The products contain excessive levels of sodium nitrite, a restricted ingredient that can be harmful if consumed in high quantities. While no adverse reactions have been reported yet, these levels exceed safety standards set by federal regulations.
