Inexport Logistics LLC, a Miami-based firm, is recalling 189 pounds of potato chip products containing chicharrón — pork cracklings — because they were produced in the Republic of Colombia, a country not eligible to export meat products to the United States, the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service announced.

The recall covers 60-gram foil bags of "YUPI GOLPE CON TODO SABOR BBQ" mixed chips, labeled "Clásicas," "PLATANOS," and "Chicharrón Fred." The recall applies regardless of product date, and the affected bags carry no import marks on their labels — a detail that matters for retailers and distributors trying to identify inventory on the shelf.

The products shipped to distributors and retail locations in eight states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Minnesota, and Texas. That footprint gives the recall broad geographic reach despite the small volume involved.

FSIS discovered the problem during a recall effectiveness check, when an inspector observed the ineligible product at a retail location. The agency did not say how the Colombian-made chips entered U.S. distribution channels in the first place.

There have been no confirmed reports of illness or injury tied to consumption of these products. FSIS nonetheless is concerned that some product may still sit in consumers' pantries, and the agency urges anyone who purchased the chips not to eat them. Consumers should throw the products away or return them to the place of purchase. Anyone concerned about illness or injury should contact a healthcare provider.

For operators, the case is a reminder that imported shelf-stable snacks containing meat components fall under FSIS jurisdiction and import-eligibility rules, not just general food-safety standards. Products from countries not approved for meat exports to the U.S. cannot legally reach retail shelves, and FSIS effectiveness checks serve as the backstop when they do. Retailers in the eight affected states should verify whether the unlabeled-import YUPI GOLPE bags remain in stock and pull them.
