Texas Firm Recalls Pork Products Due To Misbranding and Undeclared Allergens

Agency Publication Date: December 27, 2014

Summary

HEB Meat Center is recalling approximately 83,666 pounds of Pork Chorizo, HEB Mi Comida Chorizo, and Carne Al Pastor products sold at HEB retail stores in Texas. These products were produced between October 16, 2014, and December 26, 2014, and are being recalled because they may contain undeclared peanuts. The issue was discovered after a related recall for cumin products that contained undeclared peanut protein.

Risk

These products contain undeclared peanuts, which poses a risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reactions for consumers with a peanut allergy or sensitivity.

What You Should Do

Check your refrigerator or freezer for 'Pork Chorizo,' 'HEB Mi Comida Chorizo,' or 'SEASONED MEXICAN STYLE PORK FOR CARNE AL PASTOR.'
Verify if the product is affected by looking for establishment number 'EST. 7231' inside the USDA mark of inspection on the packaging.
Check the production date or sell-by date to see if it falls between October 16, 2014, and December 26, 2014.
If you have any of these products, do not consume them if you have a peanut allergy; contact HEB Customer Relations at (800) 432-3113 for further instructions.
