The Pork Rind Factory Recalls Pork Products Due To Misbranding and Undeclared Allergens

Agency Publication Date: September 10, 2015

Summary

The Pork Rind Factory is recalling approximately 18,406 pounds of various pork rind and crackling products, including Suncrest Farms, Food Lion, and Larry's brands, sold in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and Pennsylvania. These products, produced between March and September 2015, were found to contain undeclared milk and soy, which are major allergens. Consumers who purchased these items should not eat them and should either throw them away or return them to the place of purchase.

Risk

The products contain milk and soy, which are not listed on the packaging labels. This poses a serious risk of potentially life-threatening allergic reactions for individuals with a sensitivity or allergy to milk or soy.

What You Should Do

Immediately stop consuming the recalled pork rinds and cracklings.
Check your pantry for Suncrest Farms (2.25 oz), Food Lion (4 oz), or Larry's (3 oz) pork products with the establishment number 'EST. M888' inside the USDA mark of inspection.
Identify affected products by comparing the 'Use-By' dates on the packaging to the list of recalled dates: Suncrest Salt and Pepper (09/16/15, 01/12/16, 02/15/16); Suncrest Hot (12/27/15, 12/21/15); Food Lion (9/12/15 through 01/01/16); Larry's Cracklin Strips (10/24/15, 11/20/15); or Larry's Fatback Curls (11/20/15).
Throw the products away or return them to the place of purchase for a refund.
If you believe you have suffered an allergic reaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately.
