Pozole To The People Starters Recalled for Missing Production Logs

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Proxy Foods LLC is recalling 1,752 units of its Pozole To The People soup starters and hominy because they were produced without proper processing records and production logs. This lack of documentation makes it impossible to verify the safety of the products, and there have been reports of jars of the Red Pozole Starter bulging or leaking at stores. The affected products include Red Pozole, Green Pozole, and White Corn Hominy sold in glass jars in Oregon and Washington.

Risk

Missing production records mean the manufacturer cannot guarantee the food was processed safely to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Bulging or leaking jars are a sign of potential spoilage or bacterial growth, which could cause illness if consumed.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your jars for the following products and UPC codes: Red Pozole Soup Starter (UPC 738283379109 or 860322002201), Green Pozole Soup Starter (UPC 738283379116 or 860322002218), and White Corn Hominy (UPC 738283379147).
  2. This recall applies to all lot codes of these specific products.
  3. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact Proxy Foods LLC for further instructions.
