Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Supermercado Selectos is recalling approximately 15,315 pounds of various raw, frozen beef, pork, and poultry products because they were produced without the benefit of federal inspection. The recall includes various meats like ground beef, stew meat, pork chops, chicken thighs, and turkey products sold in weights ranging from 1 to 2 pounds. These items were produced between August 2017 and May 31, 2018, and were distributed to Head Start Child and Adult Care Food Programs in Puerto Rico. Consumers should return these products to the place of purchase for a refund or throw them away.

Risk

Meat and poultry products produced without federal inspection may pose a health risk because they have not been verified for safety and quality standards by food safety authorities. While no illnesses have been reported, consuming uninspected meat increases the risk of foodborne illness.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify the affected products by looking for labels starting with 'Selectos DGA' or 'SELECTOS SAN SEBASTIAN DGA' on plastic-wrapped packages or trays.
  2. Check the product labels for specific names including 'CARNE DE RES MOLIDA', 'CARNE DE RES PARA GUISAR', 'MASITAS DE CERDO', 'CHULETAS DESHUESADAS', 'CADERAS DE POLLO DESHUESADAS', 'MASITAS DE PAVO', 'FAJITAS DE POLLO', 'BIFTEC', 'PEPPER STEAK', 'BIFTEC PAVO', or 'CARNE MOLIDA DE POLLO'.
  3. Verify if your product was produced between August 2017 and May 31, 2018; specific labels may show 'Packed On' dates such as May 18, 18, May 04, 18, Apr 08, 18, May 11, 18, Apr 14, 18, Apr 27, 18, May 12, 18, or Jun 04, 18.
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer for further instructions.
  5. Contact David Crespo, General Manager at Supermercados Selecto, at (787) 280-4550 if you have questions regarding this recall.
  6. Call the USDA Meat & Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 or visit www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts for additional consumer safety information.
