Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Olymel S.E.C./ L.P. and Willamette Valley Meat Company are recalling approximately 4,618 pounds of various raw pork products, including pork belly, back ribs, legs, sirloin, and feet. These products were imported from Canada but were not presented for the required import re-inspection upon entry into the United States. No illnesses or adverse reactions have been reported in connection with these items, which were shipped to retail and restaurant locations in Oregon and Washington, as well as a Department of Defense Commissary in Japan.

Risk

Because these products bypassed the mandatory USDA import re-inspection process, the safety and quality of the meat cannot be verified, posing a potential risk of foodborne illness if consumed.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your pork products for the following Olymel brand items: Fresh Pork Belly Skinless (codes 0627F or 0521F), Fresh Pork Back Ribs (code 2952F), Fresh Pork Leg (code 0112F), or Pork Sirloin Boneless (code 4328F) with Canada establishment number 270A.
  2. Check for Willamette Valley Meat Company Pork Feet Whole in 30-lb. cases with USDA establishment number EST. 21134 and a pack date of 1/30/18 or 02/05/18.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
  4. If you have questions regarding the Olymel recall, contact Richard Vigneault, Public Relations Agent, at 514-497-1385.
