Agency Publication Date: December 19, 2015

The Cure House is recalling an undetermined amount of Woodlands Pork Mountain Ham products because they were produced without federal food safety inspection. Approximately 11,953 pounds of these cured pork products were manufactured between 2009 and December 19, 2015, and distributed to locations in Kentucky and New Jersey. While no illnesses have been reported, consumers should not eat these items as they have not been verified for safety by the USDA.
