The USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) issued a public health alert for pork carnitas that may contain metal fragments.
The fully cooked products were produced on April 1-2 and include 16-ounce trays labeled “Pork Carnitas Seasoned & Seared Pork with Juices Slow Cooked with Citrus,” with “Use By” dates of June 30 or July 1. The affected items, bearing establishment number “Est. 46049,” were distributed to Aldi stores nationwide.
Though no injuries have been reported, FSIS urges consumers not to eat the product and to dispose of or return it, as it may still be in home storage.
