“Bonavista Foods Recalls Cured Pork Fatback Due to Import Violation.” GovInfoNow, updated October 11, 2026. https://govinfonow.com/recall/1275518-bonavista-foods-recalls-cured-pork-fatback-due-to-import-violation. Based on USDA FSIS recall #147-2015 (https://www.fsis.usda.gov/recalls-alerts/bonavista-foods-inc--recalls-pork-products-produced-without-benefit-import).
Why it’s dangerous
The pork products were not presented at the U.S. point of entry for inspection, meaning their safety and sanitary conditions were not verified by the USDA. This absence of official oversight creates a possibility of adverse health consequences from consuming meat that may harbor pathogens or contaminants.
Who’s affected
Consumers who purchased cured pork fatback from retail locations in Brooklyn, N.Y., or in Canada, and potentially those who bought from a warehouse supplied by Bonavista Foods. Anyone who ate these specific imported pork products is at risk of potential health issues due to the lack of inspection.
How to tell if you have this one
Look for cured pork fatback products with establishment number Est. 17978 inside the USDA mark of inspection. Specific items include combo bins labeled "GRAS DE DOS DE PORC SALE sel ajoute CURED PORK FATBACK salt added" with packaging date Nov. 30, 2015, and package code 306, as well as 50-lb. boxes of "CURED PORK FATBACK PRODUCT OF THE U.S.A" with a packaging date of Nov. 27, 2015.
