Mitten Gourmet is recalling ready-to-eat pork rind products that were produced without the benefit of federal inspection, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service announced on Wednesday.
The pork rind products of various flavors were produced on various dates from September 9, 2021, through May 5, 2023. The following products are subject to recall [view labels]:
- 2.0-oz. clear bags containing Mitten Gourmet “PARMESAN GARLIC Pork Rinds”

- 2.0-oz. clear bags containing Mitten Gourmet “BARBECUE Pork Rinds”
- 2.0-oz. clear bags containing Mitten Gourmet “SALT N PEPPER Pork Rinds”
The products subject to recall do not bear the USDA mark of inspection because Mitten Gourmet, LLC, is not a federally inspected establishment. These items were shipped to retail locations nationwide.
The problem was discovered during routine FSIS surveillance activities when the ready-to-eat pork rind products were observed for sale without the USDA mark of inspection. FSIS determined that the producer is not an FSIS-inspected facility.
There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider.
