The company traced the contamination to liverwurst produced at the facility and has permanently discontinued the product.

USDA inspections of the Jarratt plant since 2022 reported mold, insects, and other unsanitary conditions. Despite warnings and corrective action requests, the issues persisted, leading to the plant’s indefinite closure.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention continues to advise consumers to check for recalled products with “EST. 12612” or “P-12612” on the label.
