Maître Saladier Inc. Recalls Lorraine Quiche Over Import Inspection Issues

Maître Saladier Inc. in Quebec is recalling about 6,000 pounds of Lorraine Quiche containing pork that were not reinsured upon import into the US, with no reports of illness so far.

The recall was initiated after routine surveillance detected the issue, and FSIS is verifying that the products are removed from the market.
