WASHINGTON, October 27, 2010 -
Autentico Foods, a Hawaiian Gardens, Calif.,
establishment, is recalling approximately 54,000 pounds
of ready-to-eat pork products that it did not produce in
accordance with its food safety plan, failing to take
the steps it had determined were necessary to produce
safe products, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food
Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The problem was discovered through a review of company
records by FSIS in-plant inspection personnel. The
review uncovered evidence to show that the
establishment’s food safety records cannot be relied
upon to document compliance with its Listeria
prerequisite program. Therefore, FSIS must consider the
products to be adulterated and has acted to remove the
products from commerce. FSIS has received no reports of
illnesses associated with consumption of these products.
Individuals concerned about an illness should contact a
physician.
The following pork products bear the establishment
number “EST 31810” inside the mark of inspection and are
subject to recall:

verify recalling firms notify their customers of the
recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the
