USDA Issues Public Health Alert for Pulled Pork Misbranding, Undeclared Allergens

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has issued a public health alert for Prep Chef brand pulled pork products due to misbranding and undeclared allergens, specifically soy, fish, and egg. The affected products include ready-to-eat barbecue pulled pork in 16-ounce trays and frozen pulled pork burrito filling in 10-pound boxes, produced between April 3 and July 9, 2025, and shipped to grocery stores in Maine, New York, and gas stations in Idaho. These products contain Worcestershire sauce, anchovies, and egg whites that were not declared on the labels, posing a risk for consumers with allergies to these ingredients. A recall was not requested because the products are no longer available for purchase, but FSIS warns consumers who may still have these items at home to avoid consumption and discard or return them. The alert follows a routine FSIS label review and no adverse reactions have been reported. The products bear the establishment number EST. 46046 inside the USDA mark of inspection.
