Key Points

  • About 32,000 pounds of the meat products were shipped nationwide with a false USDA inspection mark, meaning they were not properly inspected.
  • The recalled meat products include chorizo, pork chops, and ribs, produced before August 20.
  • There have been no adverse reactions reported so far.

If you recently bought meat products, check your fridge and freezer. New Jersey-based Sabrositos Hondurenos is recalling roughly 32,000 pounds of various meat products with a false USDA mark of inspection, meaning the meats did not go through proper federal examination, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).

According to the announcement, any Sabrositos Hondurenos products bearing the false establishment number “Est. 1785” should be considered misbranded and unsafe to consume. According to the FSIS, "food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants that put consumer health and safety at risk."

The meat products, including chorizo, pork chops, and ribs, were produced on various dates before August 20 and shipped to retail locations and restaurants nationwide.

Below are the items included in the recall:

  • 14-ounce vacuum-sealed packages containing homestyle chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Suelto Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS”
  • 14-ounce vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked pork chops labeled “OLANCHO Chuleta Ahumada Olanchana SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS”
  • 14-ounce vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Ahumado Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS”
  • 14-ounce vacuum-sealed packages containing cased homestyle chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Olanchano Criollo SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS”
  • 14-ounce vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked BBQ spicy chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Parrillero SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS”
  • 14-ounce vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked ribs labeled “OLANCHO Costilla Ahumada Olanchana SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS”
