California Firm Recalls Ready-To-Eat Pork Products

Autentico Foods, a Hawaiian Gardens, CA, 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.

The problem was discovered through a review of company records that uncovered evidence to show that the establishment's food safety records cannot be relied upon to document compliance with its Listeria prerequisite program. Therefore, U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) must consider the products to be adulterated and has acted to remove the products from commerce.

The following pork products bear the establishment number "EST 31810" inside the mark of inspection and are subject to recall:

10-pound boxes of "Autentico Foods Corp. CHICHARRON BELLIE GRUESO FRIED PORK BELLIES THICK."

5-ounce bags of "AUTENTICO FOODS Chicharron Delgado FRIED PORK SKINS."

8-ounce bags of "AUTENTICO FOODS Chicharron Delgado FRIED PORK SKINS."

7-ounce bags of "AUTENTICO FOODS CHICHARRON CRACKLIN FRIED PORK CRACKLIN."

The fried pork products listed above have production dates of May 8, 2010 through September 29, 2010, appearing as "050810" through "092910" printed on each package. They were distributed to retail establishments in California.

7-ounce jars of "AUTENTICO FOODS Cueritos En Vinagre PICKLED PORK SKINS."

15-ounce jars of "AUTENTICO FOODS Cueritos En Vinagre PICKLED PORK SKINS."
