Del Valle Import and Export LLC, a Kenner, La. establishment, is recalling approximately 21,105 pounds of raw pork chorizo products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced.

The raw pork chorizo items were produced from October 1, 2021, through October 18, 2023. The following products are subject to recall, regardless of the product date:

• 14-oz. plastic tub containers containing “Chorizo Olanchano Mezcla de chorizo Centroamericano Centroamerican Brand Chorizo Mix.”

The products subject to recall were produced in the owner's home and bear a false mark of inspection with establishment number "EST. 1150," which does not exist. Some products were sold in retail displays without a label. These items were shipped to retail locations in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas.

The problem was discovered during FSIS surveillance activities. FSIS determined that the firm produced the pork chorizo products without the benefit of federal inspection.

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.  

FSIS is concerned that some product may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. 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.
