WASHINGTON, Sept. 1, 2010 - Trinh Company, a San Jose, Calif., establishment, is recalling
approximately 2,070 pounds of cooked shredded pork skin products because the products were produced
without the benefit of federal inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection
Service (FSIS) announced today.
The following products are subject to recall: [View Labels]
- 8-ounce clear plastic bags of "TRINH CO. BI TUOI COOKED SHREDDED PORK SKIN, THUONG HANG BI TUOI V.N. HOP VE SINH."

The pork products were distributed to retail establishments in California. Each bag bears the establishment
number "6488" inside the USDA mark of inspection.
The problem was discovered by FSIS personnel and is the subject of an ongoing investigation. FSIS may take
more regulatory action based on the results of this investigation.
FSIS has received no reports of illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness
should contact a health care provider.
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.
If available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at
