Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Macgregors Meat and Seafood Ltd is recalling approximately 2,969 pounds of frozen 44th Street brand ready-to-eat pork baby back ribs. These products were imported from Canada into the United States but were not presented for the required import reinspection by the USDA. The recall includes 1.5-lb. cartons of both Maplewood Smoked Sauce and Honey Garlic Sauce varieties with specific Julian dates and Use By dates. No illnesses have been reported, but consumers should return or discard these products as they did not undergo the necessary safety checks.
