32,000 pounds of meat products recalled due to false USDA inspection marks

Sabrositos Hondurenos, LLC, a company based in New Jersey, is issuing a recall of approximately 32,000 pounds of various meat products that bear a false USDA mark of inspection. This indicates that the meats did not undergo the necessary federal examination, as stated by federal officials.

According to an alert released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service on Thursday, the recalled products are erroneously labeled with establishment number “EST. 1785,” which is non-existent. The items, including chorizo (sausage), pork chops, and ribs, were distributed to retail outlets and restaurants across the country and were manufactured with various dates prior to August 20, 2025.

The recall encompasses the following products:
– Homestyle chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Suelto Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
– Smoked pork chops labeled “OLANCHO Chuleta Ahumada Olanchana SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
– Smoked chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Ahumado Olanchano SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
– Cased homestyle chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Olanchano Criollo SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
– Smoked BBQ spicy chorizo labeled “OLANCHO Chorizo Parrillero SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)
– Smoked ribs labeled “OLANCHO Costilla Ahumada Olanchana SABROCITOS HONDUREÑOS” (14-oz. vacuum-sealed packages)

The FSIS mentioned that additional items may be added to the list of recalled products as more information becomes available. Consumers are advised to monitor the FSIS website for any updates.

Although there have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions related to these products, the USDA categorizes them as “misbranded and unsafe to eat.” Individuals who are worried about potential reactions should seek advice from a healthcare provider, as per the agency’s recommendation.

For any inquiries regarding the recall, consumers can reach out to Diego Funez Garrido, the owner of Sabrositos Hondurenos, LLC, at 908-274-4206.
