Wausau Pilot & Review

A Wisconsin-based meat producer is issuing a voluntary recall for packaged pork and beef products sold at its retail stores, after evidence showed they were produced without an approved formula and without inspection.

Prem Meats in Prairie du Sac sold the products at its retail stores. A Class I recall, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, refers to “a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.”

The affected products carry a mark of inspection with establishment No. 793 and includes:

  • Bacon wrapped pork loin, sold in one or two pieces in vacuum-sealed packages
  • Bacon wrapped tenderloin (beef), sold in one or two pieces in vacuum-sealed packages
  • Pork squealers, sold in one or two pieces in vacuum-sealed packages
