Gourmet Trends Kitchen, LLC, based in Sheldon, Illinois, is recalling about 800 pounds of its “Pork Belly for Grilling” product due to misbranding and the presence of an undeclared allergen. According to the Illinois Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Meat and Poultry Inspection (IDOA BMPI), the product contains wheat, which is not listed on the label.
The recalled pork belly products were produced on several dates throughout the past year. Production dates affected by the recall include: 04/16/25, 05/07/25, 05/28/25, 08/20/25, 09/10/25, 10/22/25, 10/28/25, 10/29/25, 11/28/25, and 02/04/26. Less than 50 pounds were sold at Fresh International Market in Champaign and Caddy Shack in Sheldon. The remaining products were distributed directly by Gourmet Trends Kitchen.
The issue was identified during a routine inspection at the establishment. There have been no confirmed reports of adverse reactions related to these products. Consumers concerned about possible allergic reactions are advised to contact a healthcare provider.
IDOA advises consumers to check their freezers for any of these products and not to consume them if found. Customers can return the product to the place of purchase or contact Gourmet Trends directly for further information.
“Anyone concerned about a reaction should contact a healthcare provider,” according to IDOA BMPI.
