FREELAND, Mich. — A Michigan-based food supplier is recalling more than 1,000 pounds of ready-to-eat pork rind products.
The recall was issued to Mitten Gourmet, by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) after some of the company's products were produced without federal inspection.
The pork rind products impacted include various flavors and range in production dates from Sept. 9, 2021 through May 5, 2023.
The products have been subject to the recall because they do not bear the USDA mark of inspection.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS surveillance activities when the ready-to-eat pork rind products were observed for sale without the USDA mark of inspection. FSIS determined that the producer is not an FSIS-inspected facility.
Here are the labels impacted:
