RALEIGH, N.C. – Riggs Pork Market in Maysville is voluntarily recalling all production lots of smoked pork sausage and smoked bacon products due to inadequate processing records.
“Inspectors with the N.C. Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Meat and Poultry Inspection Division noted that processing records did not include product temperatures throughout the smoking process when conducting a routine food safety assessment on Friday, April 13,” said Dr. Beth Yongue, director, meat and poultry inspection division. This is a Class II recall, which indicates a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of these products, but customers who purchased these products are urged not to consume them.
The following products are subject to recall:
- Riggs Pork Market Smoked Country Pork Bacon
- Riggs Pork Market “Cook and Serve” Mild Smoked Pork Sausage
- Riggs Pork Market “Cook and Serve” Hot Smoked Pork Sausage
These items were shipped to Piggly Wiggly Stores in Beaufort, Maysville, Swansboro and Jacksonville and sold directly to consumers from the establishment located at 284 Hampshire Lane, Maysville. These products bear an NCDA inspection legend with the establishment number P-107.
Throw away these products or return them to the place of purchase. Consumers with questions about Rigg Pork Market products can call the market at 910-743-4526 during business hours.
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.
