Irving Company Recalls Mislabeled Tamales

Nearly a ton of tamales from an Irving-based company are being recalled because of a mislabeling problem. Padrino Foods recalled 1,900 pounds of pork tamales that had been labeled as beef and sirloin products. The 60-ounce packages have a sell-by date 12-27-19. The items were sold at retail locations across Texas, Kansas, Louisiana and Oklahoma.

The USDA says the products subject to recall bear establishment number “EST. 13136” inside the USDA mark of inspection on the label.

The problem was discovered by a customer who notified the firm of the misbranding error. 

There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.  

Consumers who have purchased these products are urged not to consume them. These products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase.
