117 tonnes of pork lard recalled from the US market

US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced that has ordered the recall of 117 tonnes of pork lard produced by Skokie, an Illinois subsidiary of Quay Corporation.
The items labelled as “MARGARITA MANTECA PORK LARD" were produced between July 29, 2016, and June 22, 2018. All the products were delivered to retail locations in Texas, informs FSIS.
The problem was discovered when FSIS personnel visited the establishment after receiving information that the product was being labelled for sale without inspection. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
