Oklahoma Prepared Foods Firm Recalls Frozen Pork Loin Product

AdvancePierre Foods Inc., an Enid, Oklahoma food company, is recalling approximately 4,137 pounds of pork loin steak fritter product that may be contaminated with hard pieces of plastic.

The problem was discovered after the firm notified federal food safety officials that it had received two complaints from restaurant staff reporting they found hard pieces of plastic in the product. The recall concerns a certain lot of AdvancePierre’s Gold Label Deluxe Pork Loin Steak Fritters.

This item was shipped to distributors in Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska and Virginia and further distributed to restaurants and other food service operations.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) said the raw, frozen item was produced on June 16, 2022. FSIS said it is concerned that some product may be in the refrigerators or freezers of restaurants and food service operators. The product should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase, the agency said.

AdvancePierre Foods assembles, packages and distributes prepared meats and sandwiches. The company was acquired by Tyson Foods in 2017.
