**Editor's Note:** This release is being reissued to expand the [August 23, 2013 recall](http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/recalls-and-public-health-alerts/recall-case-archive/archive/2013/recall-046-2013-release?ref=foodconsumer.org) to include additional products and an additional allergen.

**WASHINGTON, Aug. 29, 2013** – Westlake Foods, a Santa Ana, Calif., establishment, is recalling a total of approximately 69,123 pounds of cured pork products because of misbranding and undeclared allergens, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today. The products contain wheat and soy, known allergens which are not declared on the labels.

Recall 046-2013 is being expanded to include the following products: \[[Labels](http://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/wcm/connect/dd05280a-8e13-4841-b2a5-8e686398e26a/046-2013-Exp-labels.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&ref=foodconsumer.org) (PDF Only\]

The following products were named in the August 23, 2013 recall release: 

All of the products bear the establishment number “EST. 1627A” inside the USDA Mark of Inspection. They can be further identified by a case code “213001” through “213234.” All products were produced between Jan. 1, 2013, and Aug. 22, 2013\. 

The problem was discovered by an FSIS inspector during a routine label review. The problem is believed to have occurred due to a change in the company’s spice mix, which was not reflected on the products’ labels.

FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.

FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify theircustomers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.

Media with questions about the recall should contact Jayce Yenson, Manager, at (714) 474-8828\. Consumers with questions about the recall should contact Thuy Nguyen, Secretary, at (714) 973-2286.
