Hopefully, USDA can hogtie this operation. You think people buying this product could have porcine what was going on, but that is not always easy to determine. This establishment was probably making some pretty good dough selling these dumplings, not just chitlins. Hopefully proper justice is rendered.

Feds order NYC business to stop sales of uninspected pork
A business in New York City's Chinatown acknowledges selling hundreds of pounds of uninspected pork to retailers in the state and elsewhere, according to a consent decree announced by federal prosecutors.
“Today’s consent decree protects the public by requiring defendants to adopt practices that comply with the law – and imposing significant sanctions if they fail to do so in the future,” Audrey Strauss, the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Wednesday in a statement.
Defendants Ying Gong Corp. and Yong Xing Wang violated the Federal Meat Inspection Act by selling more than 650 pounds of uninspected pork dumplings and misbranded meat and meat food products, Strauss and Paul Kiecker, administrator of the USDA’s Food Safety and Inspection Service, said.
The violations include the November 2019 sale of approximately 274 pounds of non-federally inspected pork dumplings and pork buns to a grocery store in Rochester, N.Y., which then sold 167 pounds of those pork products to customers, according to the federal officials.
Under the consent decree, the defendants are prevented from selling or transporting any uninspected or misbranded meat products required to be inspected and passed by USDA, or engaging in any other conduct that would violate the Federal Meat Inspection Act. Defendants are subject to additional actions, including civil monetary penalties and contempt sanctions, if they violate the provisions of the consent decree.
The consent decree was reached after defendants ignored repeated warnings from USDA compliance investigators, they said.
