Hope you haven’t been pigging out. An Illinois meatpacking planted that skirted federal inspection on various pork products for almost two years has recalled 515,000 pounds of pork products, the USDA announced Thursday in a press release. Advertisement Between Nov. 25, 2017 and Nov. 9, 2019 Morris Meatpacking in Maywood, Ill., produced and distributed more than half a million pounds of meat that went uninspected by USDA officials, the release said. The recalled meat had been produced “without the benefit of federal inspection and outside inspection hours." This list of recalled products was so long that the USDA had to create a spreadsheet to go along with a PDF of the labels that appear on the pork. It added that all recalled products have an establishment number “EST. 18267” inside the mark of USDA inspection. The USDA urged customers who purchased the uninspected pork to either throw it out or return it to the store they purchased it from. It added that no one had reported “adverse reactions” to the products, and that anyone concerned about such a reaction should talk to their healthcare provider. An anonymous tipster alerted the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service to the nefarious scheming at Morris, the release said. More than 500,000 pounds of pork recalled because it was never inspected
