Plant Recalls Pork That May Have Microchips
From Times Wire Reports
More than a thousand pounds of pork processed at a Sioux Center meatpacking plant was recalled because a microchip could be embedded in the meat.
The Sioux-Preme Packing Co. recalled 110 pork shoulder butts -- about 1,100 pounds of meat -- that could contain the metal devices used to measure scientific data in hogs.
The animals, processed Sept. 10, were part of a research herd that had been sent to slaughter without the proper notification that they had the chips implanted, said Sioux-Preme Vice President Jim Malek.
