Food delivered in Puerto Rico recalled from the market
US Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has ordered a recall on raw, frozen Siluriformes fish, beef, pork, chicken and turkey items produced on various dates from August 2017 to May 31, 2018, by Supermercado Selectos, a San Sebastián, Puerto Rico firm, for not having the benefit of federal inspection.
Supermercado Selectos shipped the items to DGA Food Service, LLC, who further distributed the items to Head Start Child and Adult Care Food Programs in Puerto Rico.
USDA provides reimbursement for meals served in Head Start through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP); however, these products were purchased commercially. These meat and poultry products were not provided or purchased by USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service.
The problem was first discovered during a routine inspection by FSIS investigators on May 23, 2018. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
FSIS is concerned that some product may be frozen and in consumers’ refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. The risk classification on this food alert was declared high.
