Maple Leaf Foods
Inc. has been forced to recall some pork from its plant at Brandon, Man.,
because a United States border inspector failed to detect one lot of four in a
shipment.
The inspector
certified three lots, but apparently missed the fourth one.
As a
result, Maple Leaf is recalling 4,030 pounds of boneless pork shoulders.
The
Food Safety Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture
says “without the benefit of full inspection, a possibility of adverse health
consequences exists.”
There
have been no reports of any adverse consumer reactions.
The
shipment crossed the border Oct. 31 and on Nov. 3 officials noticed the fourth
lot was missed, or in their words, the products “were not presented at the U.S.
point of entry for inspection.’
