Hormel Food Corporation is recalling approximately 228,614 pounds of canned pork and chicken products that may be contaminated with foreign matter, specifically, pieces of metal.

The USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service said the canned chicken and pork in question was produced in February at the company's plant in Fremont, Nebraska. The agency revealed that some "minor oral injuries" have been reported.

The recall involved nearly 4,000 cases of Spam Classic sold throughout the United States and more than 2,600 cases of Black Label Luncheon Loaf sold in Guam.

The FSIS is encouraging the public to check whether they still have the said products in their kitchens. Those who purchased them are encouraged not to eat the food. People must throw them away or return the merchandise to the place of purchase.
