AJC International frozen raw pork products recall: Reason, establishment number, and other details explored

The United States Food Inspection and Safety Service (FSIS) has warned consumers of AJC International's frozen, raw pork product recall. The "Made in Canada" products are being recalled as they were being sold without an import reinspection.

Announced on September 5, 2023, the nationwide recall applies to over 17,400 pounds of raw pork products distributed in American Samoa and Hawaii. The problem came to light during the routine surveillance of imported products. During the surveillance activities, the federal agency found that the concerned pork products never went through a reinspection.

The FSIS routinely reinspects all food products that may have been imported to the United States for sale purposes. These tests and inspections often help the federal agency ensure that all products are safe for human consumption.
