Algona, WA-based 502 Boundary Blvd. Inc., formerly known as Fletcher’s Fine Foods Ltd., is recalling approximately 8,694 pounds of ham products that may be contaminated with extraneous materials, specifically rubber, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced Wednesday.
The boneless, ready-to-eat ham items were produced on July 18, 2016. The following products are subject to recall:
- 6.02-lb. vacuum-sealed packages containing one “Fletcher’s Fine Foods CLASSICS Black Forest Brand Ham with Natural Juices.”
The products subject to recall bear “Product of Canada” and “Est. #337” on the label. The ready-to-eat ham products bear packaging code 16 OC 2016. These items were shipped to Costco and Sam’s Club establishments and distribution centers in Alaska, Utah, and Washington.
The problem was discovered when a retail location received a consumer complaint regarding the Black Forest Ham product. The consumer reported having found various sized pieces of what appeared to be rubber material embedded in the product.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
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. Consumers with questions about the recall can contact the Consumer Call Centre at 1-855-763-4621.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at http://ift.tt/1gO8Ec3.
