Five tons of pork egg rolls recalled due to foreign matter contamination

Van Oriental Foods, a Texas establishment, is recalling 5 tons of pork egg rolls due to possible foreign matter contamination.
The pork egg rolls were produced on May 30, 2018. The products have a shelf life of 12 months if frozen and 11 days if refrigerated, informs U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), who is calling for a Class II recall with low health risk in this case.
The problem was discovered after the firm received two consumer complaints stating that a thin thread of plastic was found in the egg rolls products.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Nevertheless, FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. 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.
