Trafon Group Recalls Chicken and Pork Products Due to Missing Import Inspection

Agency Publication Date: November 16, 2017

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Trafon Group is recalling approximately 297,828 pounds of various chicken and pork products, including Harvest Creek Chicken Franks and Olymel Plus Imported Pork, because they were not presented for inspection when entering the United States from Canada. These items were shipped to retail stores, hotels, restaurants, and institutions in Puerto Rico. While no illnesses have been reported, these products are being removed from the market to ensure consumer safety. Consumers should return the products to the store or discard them.

Risk

Because these products bypassed the required U.S. point-of-entry inspection, the USDA cannot verify their safety, quality, or processing standards, which may pose a risk to consumers.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your products for Harvest Creek CHICKEN FRANKS (12-oz.) with lot code 93023 and 'Best by/Use by' dates of 12/07/2017 or 12/10/2017.
  2. Check for 48-lb. cases of OLYMEL PLUS IMPORTED PORK SHOULDER PICNIC AND HAM with lot code 71160, or 24-lb. cases of Polean Fully COOKED Imported Ham with lot code 727025.
  3. Identify frozen pork loins in cartons of 4 with case codes Cert. 828131/Canada 80 or Cert. 828132/Canada 80, or 2.29-lb packages of center cut pork chops.
  4. Return the product to the place of purchase for a full refund, throw it away, or contact the manufacturer at (787) 342-7272 or Javier.pietrantoni@trafongroup.com for further instructions.
  5. Call the USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline at 1-888-674-6854 for additional food safety questions.
