Almost 1,000 pounds of Hempstead Foodservice pork chop products are being recalled because they were misbranded and may contain undeclared allergens. The pork recall was issued after verification activities from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The pork was heat-treated and produced between April 6 and April 30, 2021, and may contain hydrolyzed soy protein, which is a known allergen. It was sent in 10- to 41-pound cardboard boxes to several grocery store and restaurant retailers in New York, at which point, the pork chops are then cooked and sold to customers. "The products subject to recall bear establishment number 'EST. 47142' inside the USDA mark of inspection," the recall announcement says.

"FSIS is concerned that some product may be in retailer and consumers' refrigerators," the announcement continues, which urges that the products should be thrown away or returned. "Any consumers concerned about a cooked or prepared pork chop product they recently purchased should contact the store for further details."
Hydrolyzed soy protein is used to enhance the natural flavor of food, according to FoodAdditives.net. But, having an allergy to soy is common so it's important to have it featured on the label.
A soy allergy often starts in infancy with a reaction to soy-based infant formulas and can be carried into adulthood, the Mayo Clinic says. Symptoms include hives or itching in and around the mouth. It can also cause anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergic reaction.
