Olymel Pork Rib Tips Recalled for Lack of Inspection

Agency Publication Date: January 14, 2017

Summary

Olymel S.E.C./L.P. is recalling approximately 1,124 pounds of pork rib tips that were repacked and distributed without federal inspection. The recall affects 10-lb. and 30-lb. cardboard boxes produced between January 10 and January 13, 2017. These products were shipped to restaurants in Michigan, and there have been no confirmed reports of illness or adverse reactions to date.

Risk

The products were distributed without the benefit of federal inspection, which means the safety and processing standards required for meat products sold in the United States were not verified.

Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
