La Quercia Lomo Americano Recalled for Insufficient Dehydration

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

La Quercia is recalling approximately 932 pounds of whole and sliced Lomo Americano (cured, dried pork loin) because the product was not sufficiently dehydrated during processing. This lack of proper drying can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria, and the issue was discovered when inspectors noticed an unusual odor in the product. These pork items were produced between June 3, 2016, and November 2, 2016, and sold in several states across the country.

Risk

Insufficient dehydration in cured meats can allow harmful bacteria to grow, which may cause foodborne illness if consumed. While no illnesses have been confirmed, the company found 'off-odor' product during safety inspections.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your packaging for 'LOMO AMERICANO' or 'SLICED LOMO AMERICANO. 2oz' with establishment number 'EST. 31797' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
  2. Verify if your product matches one of these lot numbers and best-by dates: Z16D04V115516 (11/08/17), Z16D04V116016 (10/31/17), P17B07C128416 (02/07/17), P17B21C129816 (02/21/17), P17B18C129516 (02/18/17), P17C02C130716 (03/02/17), or P17B28C130516 (02/28/17).
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact La Quercia at (515) 981-1625 for further instructions.
  4. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 if you have additional food safety questions.
