Summary

Hempstead Foodservice is recalling approximately 972 pounds of pork chop products because they contain hydrolyzed soy protein, a known allergen that is not listed on the label. The heat-treated fresh pork chops were produced between April 6, 2021, and April 30, 2021, and were sold in large cardboard boxes to grocery stores and restaurants. No adverse reactions have been reported to date, but the products pose a health risk to people with soy allergies.
