Nearly 120 kilograms of De Todito snacks have been recalled in the United States after authorities found that the products contained pork cracklings imported from Colombia, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The recall affects products distributed to stores in New Jersey and Utah. The measure involves the company El Eden Import Distributor Corp., which imported the snacks into the United States.
The affected products are De Todito Natural and De Todito BBQ, both sold in 45-gram aluminum bags. The snacks contain pork cracklings from brands including Chicharrón Americano Jacks, Margarita and Natu Chips.
Are the recalled snacks considered dangerous to eat?
The FSIS said it has not received confirmed reports of illnesses or injuries linked to the products. However, consumers are advised to check their pantries and avoid eating packages included in the recall.
The issue is related to U.S. import restrictions on pork products, rather than the discovery of bacteria or other pathogens in the snacks.
