Morris Meat Packing Recalls a Half Million Pounds of Pork

Morris Meat Packing, in Maywood, Ill., is recalling approximately 515,000 pounds of various raw, intact pork products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection and outside inspection hours, USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced.

The raw, intact pork items were produced on Saturdays from November 25, 2017, to November 9, 2019.     

The products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 18267” inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were shipped to distributors and retail locations in Illinois. The problem was discovered when FSIS received an anonymous tip that the firm was producing products without the benefit of 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.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. Consumers and media with questions regarding the recall can contact Frank Masellis, President of Morris Meat Packing, at (708) 865-8566.
