Del Valle Import and Export LLC, a Kenner, La. establishment., is recalling approximately 21,105 pounds of raw pork chorizo products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.
The raw pork chorizo items were produced from Oct. 1, 2021 through Oct. 18, 2023, says the release. The following products are subject to recall, regardless of the product date [view labels]:
- 14-oz. plastic tub containers containing “Chorizo Olanchano Mezcla de chorizo Centroamericano Centroamerican Brand Chorizo Mix.”
The products subject to recall were produced in the owner’s home and bear a false mark of inspection with establishment number “EST. 1150,” which does not exist, says the release. Some products were sold in retail displays without a label and were shipped to retail locations in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
“The problem was discovered during FSIS surveillance activities. FSIS determined that the firm produced the pork chorizo products without the benefit of federal inspection,” FSIS explained.
Although there have been no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products, FSIS urges anyone concerned about a reaction to contact a healthcare provider.
