WASHINGTON, July 29, 2009 - Camacho's Food Processing, a Salinas, Calif.,
establishment, is recalling approximately 1,450 pounds of ready-to-eat pork skin products
because they were prepared without the benefit of federal inspection, the U.S. Department
of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The following product is subject to recall:
- 10-pound, plastic-lined bags of "Camacho's Foods PS., URUAPAN, CHICHARRONES,
(FRYED PORK SKIN)." Each product bears the establishment number "EST. 34241" inside the
USDA mark of inspection.
The ready-to-eat pork skin products were produced from June 16, 2009, through July 29, 2009, and were
repackaged for sale to consumers and distributed to retail stores in California.
FSIS' Office of Program, Evaluation & Review discovered the problem. FSIS has received no reports of
illness due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a physician.
Media and consumers with questions should contact company Manager, Oscar Camacho, Jr., at (415) 716-4128.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available
24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry
Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from
