Agency Publication Date: February 6, 2018

Summary

Guymon Extracts Inc. is recalling approximately 4,202 pounds of fully cooked Pork Soup with Rendered Pork Fat (from bone) because of a processing error.

The affected products were produced on January 3, 2018, and were distributed to centers in several states including California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Texas, and Washington.
