Various meat products recalled due to misbranding and without benefit of inspection
Sabrositos Hondurenos, LLC, in Edison, N.J., is recalling approximately 32,000 pounds of various meat products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection bearing labels with a false USDA mark of inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. As more information becomes available, FSIS may update the product list and labels with additional items. Any product bearing the false establishment number “Est. 1785” should be considered misbranded and unsafe to eat.
The meat products, including chorizo (sausage), pork chops, and ribs, were produced on various dates prior to August 20, 2025. The following products are subject to recall [view labels]:
14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing homestyle chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Suelto Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked pork chops labeled “OLANCHO Chuleta Ahumada Olanchana SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Ahumado Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing cased homestyle chorizo, labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Olanchano Criollo SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked BBQ spicy chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Parrillero SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages containing smoked ribs labeled “OLANCHO Costilla Ahumada Olanchana SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS.”
The products subject to recall bear false marks of inspection with establishment number “EST. 1785,” which does not exist. These items were shipped to retail locations and restaurants nationwide.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS surveillance activities when FSIS investigators observed various meat products in commerce bearing false marks of federal inspection.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
Food produced without inspection may contain undeclared allergens, harmful bacteria, or other contaminants that put consumer health and safety at risk. FSIS is concerned that some products may be in consumer and restaurant refrigerators or freezers. Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them and restaurants are urged not to serve them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers. When available, the retail distribution list(s) will be posted on the FSIS website at www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls.
Consumers and members of the media with questions about the recall can contact Diego Funez Garrido, Owner, Sabrositos Hondurenos, LLC, at 908-274-4206.

Frozen raw shrimp recalled due to potential Cesium-137 contamination
Beaver Street Fisheries, LLC of Jacksonville, FL is voluntarily recalling a limited quantity of Great Value Frozen Raw Shrimp EZ-Peel & Deveined Tail-On 21-25 Per lb as a precautionary measure per the recommended action stated in an FDA advisory statement dated 08/19/25 regarding Cesium-137 (Cs-137). Cs-137 is a man-made radioisotope of cesium. Traces of Cs-137 are widespread and can be present in the environment at background levels, and at higher levels in water or foods grown, raised, or produced in areas with environmental contamination. The primary health effect of concern following longer term, repeated low dose exposure (e.g., through consumption of contaminated food or water over time) is an elevated risk of cancer, resulting from damage to DNA within living cells of the body.
The product was distributed in the states of AL, AR, FL, GA, KY, LA, MO, MS, OH, OK, PA, TX, and WV, and was available for consumer purchase in select Walmart retail stores in those states from 07/28/2025 to 08/07/2025.
No illnesses have been reported to date.
As noted in the FDA statement issued on 8/19/25: “At this time, no product that has tested positive or alerted for Cesium-137 (Cs-137) has entered the U.S. commerce. FDA is working with distributors and retailers that received product from PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati after the date of first detection of Cs-137 by Customs & Border Protection (CBP), but from shipments that did not alert for Cs-137, to recommend that firms conduct a recall. In conjunction with other information, FDA determined that product from PT. Bahari Makmur Sejati violates the Federal Food, Drug, & Cosmetic Act in that it appears to have been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated with Cs-137 and may pose a safety concern.”

Taylor Farms Honey Balsamic Salad Kits recalled due to undeclared sesame and soy
In response to a recall initiated by Latitude 36 Foods, LLC., Taylor Fresh Foods is voluntarily recalling the Taylor Farms Honey Balsamic Salad Kit 6/8.3oz. because it may contain undeclared sesame and soy allergens. People who have an allergy or severe sensitivity to sesame and soy run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
Master packs — individual packets of dressing and toppings supplied by Latitude 36 Foods and included in Taylor Farms salad kits — incorrectly included Asian Sesame Ginger dressing rather than the intended Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette dressing, leading to the possibility of undeclared sesame and soy allergens in some Taylor Farms Honey Balsamic Salad Kits.
The Taylor Farms Honey Balsamic Salad Kit 6/8.3oz in scope of this recall was distributed in AL, AZ, CA, CO, DE, FL, GA, IN, KS, KY, LA, MI, MO, MS, NJ, NY, OH, OR, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA, WA and WV and has code dates starting with “TFRS” and “Best If Used By” date up to and including September 4, 2025. The product code can be found in the upper right-hand corner of the packaging.
Consumers who have the recalled salad kit should discard it immediately and not consume it. Refunds are available at the location of purchase. There have been no illnesses reported to Taylor Farms in connection with the recalled product. This recall does not apply to any other Taylor Farms products or brands. Consumers with any questions may contact our customer care team at 855-455-0098 Monday through Friday from 8am-5pm PT.
