WASHINGTON – Bonneval Foods, a Gonzales, La. establishment, is recalling all barbecue pork skin product that is currently available in commerce due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The product contains wheat and soy, known allergens, that are not declared on the product label.
The following product is subject to recall:
1.7-oz. plastic bags containing “BONNEVAL’S BBQ Pork Skins”. All product available in retail or in consumer’s pantries is included in this recall.
The product subject to recall bears establishment number “EST. 2249” inside the USDA mark of inspection. This item was distributed to retail locations in the state of Louisiana.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS in-plant verification activities. FSIS personnel identified soy and wheat, known allergens, as ingredients in a Worcestershire powder that is an ingredient in a BBQ pork skin product. The soy and wheat are not declared on the finished product label.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of this product. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers pantries. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution lists will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls
