Reason for recall

WASHINGTON, June 17, 2017 Supreme Cuisine, a Montgomery City, Mo. establishment, is recalling approximately 325,000 pounds of meat and poultry fat and lard products due to a processing deviation, which may result in the potential growth and survival of bacterial pathogens in the products, the U.S. Department of Agricultures Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The duck, beef and pork fat and lard items were produced and packaged from June 1, 2016 through May 8, 2017. The products have a one-year shelf life. Attached is a list of the products subject to this recall. [ View Labels (PDF Only)] The products subject to recall bear establishment number EST. 34595 or P-34595 inside the USDA mark of inspection. These items were sold through the internet and shipped to retail locations nationwide. The problem was discovered after the firm received a consumer complaint of a loose lid from an internet customer.
