ARLINGTON (WBAP/KLIF News) – Arlington-based Evans Food Group is recalling almost 3,796 pounds of ready-to-eat pork skin products due to misbranding involving a possible allergen.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said the 10 oz. box of Mac’s Chicharrones Pork Skins Hot & Spicy Variety Pack 10 Singles contain soy and was not declared on the product label.
The snack is part of a variety pack that doesn’t label soy on the outside package but is declared on the individual 1-oz. product label.
However, the consumer would not be able to see the pork skins contained soy until they open the larger packaging.
The RTE fried pork skin items were produced from April 15, 2020 to May 11, 2020. These are the products subject to recall:
- “Best-by” dates 7/8/2020, 7/29/2020, 8/1/2020, 8/17/2020 and 8/19/2020 and lot codes 20106, 20107, 20113, 20118, 20122, 20125, 20128 and 20129.
The products also bear the establishment number “EST. 7293” inside the USDA mark of inspections. They were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The USDA said the issue was discovered by the Evans Food Group during a records review.
So far, there have been no reports of any illnesses or adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
Anyone who bought them is urged to throw them out or return them to the place of purchase.
Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the Evans Food Group Consumer Contact Line at 1-800-543-7113.
