The firm is recalling all the products listed above which are currently in commerce. These products were sold through the Internet, as well as distributed to local markets and restaurants in Arkansas. The products subject to recall bear the establishment number "EST. 10650" inside the USDA mark of inspection, which does not belong to the recalling firm.
It should be noted that this recall does not impact products produced at Garner Abattoir & Meat Processing (Est. 10650) or Morrilton Packing Co. which does business as Petit Jean Meats (Est. 10646). FSIS encourages consumers to review the labels on the products subject to recall very carefully. (pictures on website) When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on FSIS' website at www.fsis.usda.gov/FSIS_Recalls/
Open_Federal_Cases/index.asp.
FSIS and the firm are concerned that some product may still be frozen and in consumers' freezers. FSIS strongly encourages consumers to check their freezers and immediately discard any product that is the subject of this recall. The problem was discovered through a consumer complaint regarding a product purchased at a local market. FSIS has received no reports of illnesses due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician.
