Nearly 14,000 lbs. of pork rind products have been recalled in the United States.
The snack bags are 5.3 oz containing "TorTrix Con Chicharrón" and were shipped from Guatemala, which is a country ineligible to export meat products to the U.S.
The bags do not have an establishment number nor a USDA mark of inspection.
