(WKBN) — The Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a public health alert for pork products after determining that they could be contaminated with metal.
The alert affects pork carnitas products produced by Cargill Meat Solutions earlier this month, on April 1-2, and sold in Aldi stores nationwide.
They come in 16-ounce sleeved-tray packages with the description “Pork Carnitas Seasoned & Seared Pork with Juices Slow Cooked with Citrus” and use-by dates of June 30, 2025, or July 1, 2025.
The problem was discovered during routine process checks when damaged equipment was found that could have contaminated the products with metal pieces, according to the USDA.
Since this product is no longer available for sale, there has been no recall. However, FSIS is concerned that some may be in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. People who have purchased these products are urged to throw them away or return them, but don’t consume them.
So far, there have been no confirmed reports of injury.
