Pork Products Recalled Due to Possible Listeria
Federal officials said more than 1,500 pounds of guanciale were recalled after routine testing found Listeria monocytogenes, with no illnesses reported.
On Sunday, the Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced a Class I recall of approximately 1,513 pounds of imported Italian guanciale after testing detected Listeria monocytogenes contamination.
FSIS officials discovered the contamination during routine import reinspection testing of products produced at Est. Bome SRL in Italy on May 21 and imported during July.
Affected products from Prime Line Distributors and Ferrarini USA Inc. bear lot number "LOT: 263311US," establishment number "IT 1937 L CE," and best-by date May 16, 2027, distributed across eight states.
While no illnesses have been confirmed, consumers should discard or return the pork products immediately due to serious infection risks for newborns, pregnant women, and older adults.
FSIS classified this as a Class I recall, the highest severity level, indicating a reasonable probability that consuming the product could cause serious health consequences or death.
