More Than 15,000 Pounds of Smoked Sausage Recalled
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) has announced a recall of more than 15,000 pounds of smoked sausage produced by the Hillshire Brands Company.
The smoked meat products are being pulled from shelves because they may be contaminated by “extraneous materials,” specifically bone fragments.
The recalled meat-and-poultry smoked sausages are labeled “Hillshire Farm Smoked Sausage Made with Pork, Turkey, Beef” and were sold in 14-ounce packages.
The potentially affected products have the lot codes “in the form of the establishment number, line number, and time of production,” which read “EST. 756A 20 19:00:00 through 21:59:59 and EST. 756A 21 19:00:00 through 21:59:59.”
The packages also have the use-by date “Nov 11 23” printed on the front label.
FSIS was notified of the potential contamination by Hillshire Farm, and the company said that it had also received consumer complaints about bone fragments in the sausage.
As of this writing, there has been one “oral injury” related to eating the affected sausages, but there have been no illnesses or hospitalizations related to eating the recalled products.
