Maple Leaf Foods Inc. Recalls Boneless Pork Products Produced Without Benefit of Import Inspection

Agency Publication Date: November 6, 2015

Summary

Maple Leaf Foods Inc. is recalling approximately 4,030 pounds of Boneless Pork Shoulder products sold in 62-lb. cartons in California. These products, identified by establishment number 007 and produced on October 28, 2015, were imported from Canada but bypassed required U.S. safety inspections. Consumers should immediately check their labels for the specific product description and establishment mark to ensure they do not consume these uninspected items.

Risk

The product entered the country without the benefit of full import inspection, which means it was not verified for safety standards. Without this inspection, there is a possibility of adverse health consequences from potential contaminants or processing issues that would otherwise have been caught.

What You Should Do

Check your freezer or storage for 62-lb. cartons of 'Pork Shoulder Blade Boneless COV 2X4' or 'Pork Shoulder Boston Butt Boneless'.
Verify the product has establishment number '007' inside the Canada mark of inspection and a production date of 2015-10-28.
Do not consume these products. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
If you are concerned about a reaction or have health questions after potential consumption, contact a healthcare provider.
For questions about the recall, contact Barry Mailloux, Corporate Customs Compliance Manager, at (905) 285-5811.
