WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 2012–Han Yang Inc., a Milwaukee, Wisc., establishment, is recalling approximately 25,600 pounds of
cooked pork hocks because of misbranding and an undeclared allergen, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food
Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The products contain wheat, a known allergen, which is
not noted on the label.
The products subject to recall include: [View Label]:
- Shrink wrapped packages of various weights of "JANG CHUNG DONG HAN YANG KING JOAK BAL COOKED PORK HOCKS."
The products bear the establishment number "EST. 21880" inside the USDA mark of inspection, and have
a four month shelf life. The products subject to recall were produced between Oct. 7, 2011, and Feb. 7, 2012, and
were distributed for wholesale and retail use in Los Angeles, Calif. and Chicago, Ill. areas.
The problem was discovered by an FSIS inspector during a label review. The inspector reviewed the ingredient statement
of a seasoning component used in the product and the finished product label and discovered that wheat, an allergen,
was listed as an ingredient in the component, but not declared on the finished product label. FSIS and the company
have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction
should contact a healthcare provider.
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.
Consumers and media with questions about the recall should contact the company's President, Chang Choi, at
(414) 389-1099.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours
