A Fremont company is recalling ready-to-eat beef and pork products, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, which said the meat was produced without federal inspection.
E-Z Shop Kitchens, Inc. is recalling:
•16-ounce and 4-pound tub containers of “E-Z Shop Kitchen Seasoned Beef” with the number “EST. 19665” in the USDA inspection mark.
• 16-ounce and 4-pound containers of “E-Z Shop Kitchen Shredded Pork with BBQ Sauce” with the number “EST. 19665” in the inspection mark.
• 16-ounce and 4-pound tub containers of “E-Z Shop Kitchen Shredded Beef with BBQ Sauce” with the same number.
According to the agriculture department, all of the products have unknown production dates and were distributed to retail and institutional customers in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and West Virginia between July 1 and Oct. 6.
The problem was discovered by FSIS personnel when following up on a complaint. The investigation is on-going, the agriculture department said, and more regulatory action may be taken when the investigation is complete.
The FSIS hasn’t received any reports of illness attributed to the products, it said.
It is the second recall this month of an Ohio company’s products.
Greencore USA, Inc., a Cincinnati business, recalled approximately 57 pounds of salad products containing meat and poultry, because the grape tomatoes used in the products may be contaminated with Salmonella, the FSIS announced Oct. 1.
The 5.6 oz. plastic bowl containers of "Thornton’s Quick Café’s Chef Salad" with an "Enjoy By" date of "09/30/11", "10/02/2011" or "10/03/2011" were recalled.
