The FSIS announced the recall of approximately 3,140 pounds of ready-to-eat (RTE) smoked pork barbecue products by Nick’s Famous Bar-B-Q because they may be adulterated with Listeria monocytogenes. These items were distributed to institutions, including school locations in North Carolina. While the product was distributed to schools, it resulted from a commercial sale and was not part of food provided by the USDA for the National School Lunch Program.
The recalled product are:
- 20-lb. boxes of “Nick’s FAMOUS Hickory Smoked Pork Bar-B-Q” with a case code of 23452 and a use by date of 09/2022
The frozen RTE hickory smoked pork barbecue products were produced on September 7, 2021 and September 8, 2021 and packaged on September 8, 2021. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be in institutions’ freezers. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
In case you are experiencing listeria monocytogenes symptoms such as high fever, severe headache, stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain, and diarrhea, it is important to report it. It can help to detect & resolve outbreaks early and prevent others from being harmed, and it enables better surveillance.
