San Antonio Packing Company is issuing a public health alert for its 12-oz. packages of 'LEAN apco BRAND MEATS ALL NATURAL PREMIUM CHORIZO' because the product may contain pieces of hard plastic and metal. The issue was discovered through a consumer complaint, though no injuries or illnesses have been confirmed. These raw pork chorizo items were produced on February 12, 2024, and sold at H-E-B grocery stores in Texas. Since the product is past its best-by date and no longer for sale, a formal recall was not requested, but consumers may still have it in their refrigerators or freezers.
The product may contain sharp foreign materials, specifically hard plastic and metal fragments, which can cause injury to the mouth, throat, or digestive tract if swallowed.
